Shared leadership: underpinning of the MLCF
By NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement and Academy of Medical Royal Colleges
Published by Coventry: NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement
A key product from the Enhancing Engagement in Medical Leadership project has been the development of a Medical Leadership Competency Framework (MLCF). This document defines the skills and competences needed by doctors to engage effectively in the planning, provision and improvement of health care services.
It applies to all doctors and is intended to be acquired across the medical career at each appropriate level (Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Continuing Practice). It is therefore not aimed at specific, positional leaders but is seen as a set of competences that should be fully integrated into the medical role and not a separate function.
