Abstract
Investment in leadership development (LD) is essential for high quality patient care (Vaithianathan, 2010). This is urgent with greater public demand (Royal College of Physicians, 2012) complexity of care (NHS England, 2013) health inequalities (Marmot,2010) and financial challenges (Kings Fund, 2011).Ross Baker (2011) note that for building effective NHS leadership having learning strategies that test improvement and scaling up what works may be one response to this challenge.Evaluating an action learning (AL) focussed leadership programme for Senior Medical Consultants (SMCs), the overall study examined the impact of this learning strategy at individual and organisational level to establish what is effective to deliver cultural change and embed SMCs as NHS leaders. Here, this paper will focus on one measure, data gained from the analysis of semi-structured interviews carried out with course delegates after thelearning programme.
