Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Hospital consultants are increasingly involved in management roles.
  • Previous surveys indicated a need for management training among consultants.
  • Evolving responsibilities necessitate updated management skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess changes in hospital consultants' management roles and training needs.
  • To identify barriers and incentives related to management training uptake.
  • To inform policy for consultant management development.

Main Methods:

  • Postal questionnaire survey of 1,383 hospital consultants in the UK's North Western Region (1994).

  • Inclusion of open-ended questions on training barriers and incentives.

    • Main Results:

    • Increased management responsibility and earlier assumption of roles by consultants in 1994 compared to 1987.
    • A rise in the proportion of consultants needing management training, from 62% (1987) to 73% (1994).
    • Local budgeting and business planning identified as most useful training; access issues were commonly reported.

    Conclusions:

    • Growing management responsibilities require enhanced training provision for hospital consultants.
    • Addressing barriers to training access is crucial for consultant development.
    • Policy interventions are needed to support consultants in fulfilling their management potential.
