Now in its fifth edition, this popular text provides an updated guide to the ever-changing complex world of management and its relationship with clinical psychiatric practice, in the pressurised environment of the NHS and other health care services. All chapters have been revised and updated by both clinicians involved in management and non-medical managers. Exploring topics from running services to patient experience to working with members of multidisciplinary teams, this book, for the first time, also includes interviews with three medical managers who share their personal development and experiences. This addition will make sure clinicians are aware of the pressures medical managers are under, along with providing potential solutions. Combining the knowledge of those with direct management experience with sound practical advice makes this a must-read book for trainees and early career psychiatrists alike.
