ENGAGING CLINICIANS IN STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT: LESSONS LEARNED Over the past few weeks we’ve been exploring Strategic Development in complex systems and in our latest 1 minute read, collaborator Andrew Liles, discusses the pivotal role clinicians can play in shaping the future of healthcare. During a six-month project with an NHS Trust, Andrew uncovered invaluable insights by involving clinicians in the strategic development. Here's a snapshot of what he learned:- 1️⃣ Time to do this: Developing a comprehensive strategy demanded a six-month commitment, requiring stakeholders to balance it alongside their operational duties. Despite the time investment, prioritising this process proved to be instrumental in driving impactful change. 2️⃣ Building Trust: Bridging gaps between clinical specialty leads and Trust leaders was crucial in creating a collaborative environment. Establishing trust and nurturing relationships among stakeholders paved the way for open communication and meaningful engagement throughout the strategy development journey. 3️⃣ Make it Interesting: Empowering clinicians as experts from the outset kept the process dynamic and insightful. By soliciting their expertise and insights, we ensured that the strategy development process remained relevant, engaging, and aligned with the realities of clinical practice. Bottom-up, clinically driven strategies empowered the Trust to tackle complex challenges with confidence, ultimately driving positive outcomes for patient care and organisational success.

🌟 From the Frontlines to the Boardroom: My Journey in Healthcare Leadership 🌟 As a medical doctor, I’ve spent years on the frontlines, diagnosing, treating, and advocating for patients. But along the way, I realized that while individual care saves lives, system-wide change transforms communities. This realization fueled my passion to step into healthcare management. With a deep understanding of clinical challenges, I aim to bridge the gap between patient care and organizational excellence. Here’s what sets me apart: ✔ Patient-Centered Perspective: I’ve been in the trenches, so I know what patients and healthcare teams truly need. ✔ Collaborative Leadership: I speak the language of clinicians and administrators, fostering trust and alignment. ✔ Outcome-Driven Thinking: Years of clinical practice have taught me to focus on measurable results, whether improving patient outcomes or optimizing processes. I believe the future of healthcare lies in leaders who combine empathy, efficiency, and innovation—and I’m committed to driving that change. 🚀 To my network: If you share a passion for creating impactful change in healthcare, let’s connect, collaborate, and reimagine what’s possible together! #HealthcareManagement #Leadership #FromDoctorToManager #PatientCenteredCare #InnovationInHealthcare

📍Leadership in healthcare is not a title—it’s a responsibility Leadership in healthcare is unique. It requires us to balance the demands of patient care with the complexities of administration, innovation, and navigating an evolving industry. For many doctors, this transition is daunting—we’re trained to save lives, but not necessarily to lead teams or drive systemic change. For me, this journey has been one of continuous learning, where humility meets ambition, and every challenge is an opportunity to innovate. One area that inspires me is healthcare innovation. Whether it’s leveraging technology to improve access to care, developing programs that bridge gaps in underserved communities, or advocating for policies that empower practitioners and patients alike—innovation drives the future of our field. If you’re a doctor new to leadership, here are a few lessons I’m learning: 🎯Lead with purpose – Align your decisions with your core values and the needs of the people you serve. 🎯Embrace collaboration – Leadership isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about fostering environments where solutions thrive collectively. 🎯Think innovatively – Question the status quo and explore how new tools, methods, and ideas can solve persistent challenges. Ensuring that every decision we make leads to better outcomes for those who rely on us. For doctors stepping into these roles, it’s our chance to reimagine the future of care. Let’s lead with heart, innovate with purpose, and transform healthcare together. I’d love to hear your thoughts: What does leadership in healthcare mean to you? How do you approach the challenges of balancing clinical work with driving change? Med-e-Screen 📍 Dr. Joy Saville Dr Anke van Zyl 🇿🇦 Dr Anele Mhlakaza #innovation #leadership #healthcare

🚀 Should Financial Performance be included in the Top Clinical Executives selection criteria? In light of Modern Healthcare's recent list of the 50 Most Influential Clinical Executives, the question arises: should a company's value-based outcomes, profitability, or stock value be part of evaluating these leaders? Healthcare revolves around patient outcomes, but clinical executives also play a crucial role in operational performance, unit economics, and efficiency decisions. 🔍 What are your thoughts? Should poor market performance impact this list, or did these clinical leaders prevent a worse situation? Perhaps their roles were primarily clinical? #HealthcareLeadership #ClinicalExecutives #HealthcareInnovation #PatientCare

I am often asked the question, why choose leadership instead of face time with patients? Shouldn’t you truly utilize all of the clinical skills that you have acquired over the years… my answer is always the same. YES AND the truth is- In healthcare, having clinically trained leaders on the executive team is critical to driving both operational and patient-centered success. These leaders bring a unique perspective, blending clinical expertise with business acumen, which allows us to make informed decisions that directly impact patient outcomes and the efficiency of care delivery. We serve as a bridge between frontline staff and administrative teams, ensuring that organizational strategies are aligned with clinical realities. The why- I not only touch patients on a regular basis, I am privileged enough to drive the decisions that deliver their patient experience and care. Clinically trained executives enhance communication, improve quality of care, and promote a culture that prioritizes patient safety and evidence-based practices. Their presence is invaluable in navigating the complexities of healthcare regulations, technological advancements, and evolving patient needs. Simply put, healthcare organizations are stronger, more innovative, and better equipped to lead change when clinical insights guide executive decisions. And so I will continue to serve with the Executive team and continue to learn and train with the Clinical team. #executivewomen #clinicalleadership #womeninleadership

Clinicians in leadership roles only matters if there is a culture of listening and adapting. I believe most nurses feel like CNOs end up representing the hospital and not the staff, and that they start caring more about the short-term bottom line than nurturing a thriving workforce (which can take some time to financially play out). I believe we need more clinicians in leadership roles but more importantly I believe we need hospitals to reform their way of thinking. Hospitals need to look at bedside staff as more than a COGS, rather, a long term investment that shows they are a part of the solution, that their ideas are heard, and their concerns are validated.
