Are you in a role where you are a specialist and/or expert? Then you are in a leadership position. This applies equally to nurses, social workers, doctors, pharmacists, people working in finance, HR, and other specialisms within health and social care.
When you are a person that others look to for advice, expertise, and support, they also look to you for leadership. Nationally, as a health and social care system we under-invest in leadership development of people in specialist roles. This results in poor leadership, which leads to bad culture, poorer outcomes and experiences for those who use our services.
