Developing leaders to improve patient care


The Health Foundation believes that encouraging better leadership from clinicians and managers is one of the most important ways to improve the quality of healthcare in the UK.

Developing leaders to improve patient care explains what we have learnt about leadership:

* leaders are key to improving patient care
* leaders need emotional intelligence
* leaders should learn in multidisciplinary teams
* leaders are required throughout an organisation
* leaders need support from their colleagues and their organisation
* careful recruitment to leadership schemes is important.
