Cancer World Newsletter - Editorial: We need to get serious about management

Clinicians are being increasingly called on to assume hospital management roles. This could make sense if we are to believe the evidence that shows hospitals are run better when clinically qualified managers are in charge. But clinicians are rightly reluctant to take on responsibilities for which they have received no formal training. This Editorial looks at an initiative designed to address this need and asks whether professional societies need to introduce management skills into their CME programmes.

Would you value access to training in basic management skills?  You can read the article here. Press the comment button at the end and share your views.
