Browsing through the NHS Commissioning Board papers (as one does) I was interested to see the emphasis put on the notion of ‘membership’ for Clinical Commissioning Groups and the importance of distributive leadership.
I was intrigued when I first heard about the Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management (FMLM). As a doctor, who took the unusual step of moving into full time NHS management in 2004, I have felt somewhat unsupported by the medical establishment in my chosen path. The creation of the FMLM, suggests to me, that this may be changing.
