The Clinical Leadership Competency Framework project was commissioned to test the applicability of the leadership competences of the Medical Leadership Competency Framework for other clinical professions.
Some of the key findings:
- The Clinical Leadership Competency Framework be completed by developing the underpinning scenarios and examples to contextualise the competences and which can be demonstrated by clinicians.
- A clinical leadership curriculum framework be developed to support embedding leadership competences into postgraduate education at a pre and post-registration phase, similar to the Medical eadership Curriculum which has been developed as an output of the MLCF.
- The NHS would benefit from a single overarching leadership framework to support development, assessment, and commissioning of leadership development across clinical and non-clinical professions. Work is underway on this and we recommend that the CLCF remains closely linked to this work.
