CLINICAL MANAGEMENT: THE CASE OF THE CONSULTANT PSYCHIATRIST
Abstract
Reviews the management role of consultant psychiatrists in the light of recent NHS reforms. Tries to identify the needs of clinicians and their patients and what is causing dissatisfaction within the profession. Examines various reforms. Concludes that although difficult, the care leadership within the psychiatric area should lie with the consultant psychiatrist who should have the experience necessary in order to define the qualifications and care necessary for each patient.
