Clinical Management in the NHS
I am really enjoying my job as clinical director since July 2007. It has been a good learning experience, however, I have to say that viewing the NHS from a management perspective has done nothing to decrease my skepticism about practices in the NHS and the virtually complete dissociation of most consultant staff from flow, acute activity and the consequences underperformance in acute areas of the hospital.
I hope to be able to put forward my personal view in a series of posts on the blog. I would like to point out that these views expressed in this blog and especially in these series of posts are entirely my personal views and do not represent those of my employer, the NHS or the Department of Health.
