Clinical training for general managers?

Abstract

The author's contention is that the future demands of managing the Health Service in Britain are not being met by current training programmes. In particular, lay‐managers normally lack any clinical education and suffer accordingly. The preferred solution is to include a sizeable component of especially adapted clinical training into general management education programme to provide managers with a better grasp of health issues and allow them to make fuller use of new managerial tools such as DRGs and QALYs.
