Course objectives:
Effective leadership is vital for developing healthcare practices in response to effectively appreciating and responding to the needs of patients and service users within diverse and complex care situations. Certainly, successive Government health White Papers emphasise the need for effective leadership at all levels of the organisation [NHS Plan, Making a Difference]. The course is conceived as a collaborative research project, working with the leaders to appreciate the nature of leadership especially working in healthcare organisations and to use this reflexive understanding to develop the programmes to reflect essential leadership within healthcare organisations. The result of this collaborative endeavour will be published in a book entitled Seeking Transformational Leadership within a Transactional World [Blackwell Publishing].
