- This report provides an up-to-date picture of the state of medical leadership in NHS trusts today. It maps current and emerging structures of medical engagement in management and leadership in NHS trusts.
- The report concludes that:
"progress has been made in involving doctors in leadership roles in NHS trusts but the journey... is by no means complete."
"There are many barriers to involving doctors effectively in leadership roles, and in most organisations a step change is needed to overcome these barriers. This includes increasing the time commitment of medical leaders and the proportion of doctors in formal leadership roles and developing the culture of engagement we found in those trusts that had progressed furthest on this journey."
