Yesterday evening, the Health Service Journal announced this year’s Clinical Leaders list for 2015. The list highlights leaders whose clinical background enhances the work they do and those who have either made a significant impact on health service policy, healthcare delivery or medical clinical advances. Among those named is the current RCP president Professor Jane Dacre.
On the announcement Professor Jane Dacre said:
I am humbled to be included in the HSJ’s Clinical leader list for 2015. I have long championed the merits of Clinical Leadership – as who better to run our hospitals, shape health policy and find the innovative practices in future than the clinicians that currently work within our NHS every day.
The merits of Clinical Leadership need to be shared and supported much more widely – both within the NHS and government – as I truly believe that as clinicians we are ideally placed to innovate and implement positive change for both our patients and NHS systems that support them.
