Description
Examines in detail how doctors protect patients' interests, implement morally controversial change, manage colleagues in difficulty, and rebuild trust after serious medical harm.

What are the moral challenges that confront doctors as they manage healthcare institutions? How do we build trust in medical organizations? How do we conceptualize moral action? Based on accounts given by senior doctors from organisations throughout the UK, this book discusses the issues medical leaders find most troubling and identifies the moral tensions they face.

The book discusses how leaders develop moral narratives to make sense of these situations, how they behave while balancing conflicting moral goals and how they influence those around them to do the right thing in difficult circumstances. Based on empirical ethical analysis, this volume is essential reading for clinicians in leadership roles and students and academics in the fields of healthcare management, medical law and healthcare ethics.
  • Based on personal interviews, this book will enable readers to learn from the experience of medical leaders
  • Proposes new ways of developing collective moral capability
  • Describing the behaviors of medical leaders, it will aid understanding of significant unspoken expectations
