DHSC has now published its proposals to regulate (or rather bar) #NHS managers. In this @bmj.com paper, @suziebailey.bsky.social @chrisham.bsky.social & I argue that regulation needs to be accompanied by wider changes to professionalise, train & support leaders:

Newly published @bmj.com paper from @suziebailey.bsky.social @chrisham.bsky.social & me, arguing that it’s time to regulate NHS management, but this will not suffice. Significant investment in training, development & support, & wider professionalisation, are needed. #healthpolicy #healthmanagement

regulation of NHS managers and why less central direction, a culture focused on patients and not bullying, and a commitment to increased professionalism enabled by training and a code of conduct are needed @profjudithsmith.bsky.social www.bmj.com/content/389/...

its time to take prevention seriously and fully engage people in keeping healthy and using services wisely - this must be at the heart of the 10 year NHS plan. The road for increasing spending on a sickness service is running out

In part but there’s a skill set and mind set that are also important. NHS leaders and ministers too often default to hierarchy and overlook relationships, trust and the ‘soft’ stuff

Great blog. Isn’t good commissioning primarily good leadership, Chris?

The Department of Homeland Security is vetting a pitch for a reality television show in which immigrants would compete against one another for U.S. citizenship.

The competition series was pitched by Rob Worsoff, a Canadian-born writer and producer who was behind A&E’s “Duck Dynasty” and Bravo’s “Millionaire Matchmaker.”

Who knows the name of the UK’s national bowel hospital? I’ve been working today with its staff and leaders. Feels like a well kept secret
