Guidance Notes and Best Practice Guides

Monitor: Promoting clinical leadership in the NHS can provide powerful incentives for staff to take on greater responsibility for the services they provide.  This is one of the benefits of service-line management set out in a new guide published by Monitor, the regulator of NHS foundation trusts.
 
The new guide contains practical examples of how service-line management has been implemented in the NHS and the way it has been adapted to suit different trusts.  It is aimed at managers & clinicians beginning the process of introducing service-line management to their organisations.  It pulls together the experiences of the first trusts to implement this concept and identifies key areas for development.
