  • Effective leadership and management are crucial for efficient healthcare delivery.
  • Understanding interprofessional dynamics is key to improving healthcare systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore perceptions of doctors and managers regarding management training needs.

  • Data collected focused on opinions regarding management training timing, format, and control over clinical budgets.
  • Analysis aimed to identify consensus and divergence in perspectives.

Main Results:

  • Both doctors and managers agreed on the necessity of management training at multiple career stages.
  • Managers advocated for integrated training for doctors and other staff; doctors desired control over clinical budgets.
  • Managers opposed doctors having control over clinical budgets, indicating persistent cultural divides.

Conclusions:

  • The findings suggest an ongoing 'them and us' culture between medical and managerial staff in the NHS.
  • Addressing these cultural divides is essential for improving NHS operations and interprofessional collaboration.
