Key questions and answers

Q How do you bridge the gap between clinicians and management?

  • It’s essential to promote leadership roles for clinicians, as many are not interested in leadership. Training must be provided and senior resident posts can be used as platforms to develop staff. It’s important to simultaneously train non-clinical operational management in basic clinical issues in order to bridge the gap.
