Healthcare Report Whitepaper

This paper places the findings from that research in the context of the health and social care sector. It presents new analysis of the data, and is also informed by discussions at a seminar on management and leadership development in the health sector held by CMI at the Royal College of Surgeons on 30 April 2013. Our expert guest speakers included Dean Royles, Director of NHS Employers; Jan Sobieraj, Managing Director of the NHS Leadership Academy; Ian Reynolds, Chairman of Kingston Hospital NHS Trust and a CMI Companion; and Jill Guild, Head of Quality and Regulation with NHS Health Education East Midlands.

We explore:

• Why good leadership and management is essential

• The link between leadership and engagement

• Management and leadership development practice

• Effective investment in management and leadership.
