Description	This module complements other leadership modules in the MBA by addressing clinical leadership specifically – i.e. the leadership of clinicians by clinicians. In most cases clinical leaders are hybrids, maintaining senior roles in both clinical practice and management. The context for clinical leadership needs to take account of professional roles, relationships, and regulation, and the processes of leadership are often understood to be different than ‘general’ leadership, because of the autonomous nature of clinical practice (which varies between professions), the collegial nature of professions, but also the strong hierarchical relationships within training programmes. The role of clinical professionals in management teams will also be considered, where professionals often have detailed knowledge of and accountability for care processes that others may lack, although often without formal authority within the organisational setting. The literature relevant to this module is spread around a number of disciplines, including management, health services research, organisational studies, and sociology, and the implications of this for developing a clinical leadership evidence-base will be explored.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Evaluate the contexts of clinical professions with healthcare organisations Explore professional issues relevant to leading clinicians, including professional regulation and performance assessment. Critically assess the application of leadership approaches to specific clinical and team contexts. Synthesise research from various disciples into the understanding of clinical leadership.
