This paper asserts that debates about improving management and leadership in the NHS are not new and continuous reform suggests that previous attempts may not have tackled the right problem.

• developing a range of leadership
• qualifications up to master’s level
• identifying and supporting the top 250 leaders
• producing guidance on talent management, and
• creating a clinical leadership fellowship scheme
