Healthcare Leadership Capacity: What Difference Can it Make?
While the challenges facing healthcare organisations are acute, developing world class management capabilities has proven to be difficult.
Our research addresses these concerns head on, to explore what management and leadership capacity is needed in healthcare and how it might be enhanced. Funded by prestigious sources, including The Health Foundation, we work closely with policy makers, professional bodies and healthcare practitioners, regionally, nationally and internationally.
We contribute to ongoing debates about management in the UK NHS and to a deep understanding of healthcare management challenges in other national contexts such as China, India, Italy, Netherlands, Scandinavia and Spain.
