The definitive guide to clinical leadership, by Dickon Weir-Hughes, the Chief Executive of the NMC.

Dickon takes a unique slant on the teaching of Leadership and Management through an A-Z format, making this subject very accessible. The book provides a helpful and practical summary of the key leadership principles within healthcare.

Dickon has drawn on his personal experience of the sharp end of clinical leadership in a number of organisations. Utilising his experience as a leadership programme facilitator, mentor and coach, he understands the need for students and practitioners to grasp leadership concepts and terminology, to assess their competence against such a framework and to have some suggestions for taking forward personal development. This book fulfils that in an accessible and novel way.
