Practical Leadership and Management in Healthcare is the definitive ‘how to’ guide for leadership and management in nursing and healthcare. Now in its second edition, it provides a comprehensive analysis of the theories, models and skills of leading and managing needed by UK healthcare professionals, and provides a basis for developing knowledge, skills and behaviours needed for effective leadership and management.
Nursing and healthcare professionals of all levels are required to demonstrate effective leadership and management skills; planning, organising, delivering and evaluating care are management responsibilities that occur every day, whilst anticipating patient needs and motivating others are ways of leading with integrity. This book offers clear and practical advice on how to make an impact as a leader, from the frontline to the boardroom.
