    The definitive guide to clinical leadership, by Dickon Weir-Hughes, the Chief Executive of the NMC.

    Dickon takes a unique slant on the teaching of Leadership and Management through an A-Z format, making this subject very accessible. The book provides a helpful and practical summary of the key leadership principles within healthcare.

    Dickon has drawn on his personal experience of the ‘sharp end’ of clinical leadership in a number of organisations. Utilising his experience as a leadership programme facilitator, mentor and coach. he understands the need for students and practitionners to grasp leadership concepts and terminology, to assess their competence against such a framework and to have some suggestions for taking forward personal development.  This book fulfils that in and accessible and novel way.
