Developing Collective Leadership to Support Collaboration: A Case Study in Clinical Education in UK Healthcare, is an insightful examination of how a collective leadership approach can break down institutional silos and improve interprofessional collaboration in healthcare.
In an era where healthcare teams are under pressure to deliver more services with tighter budgets, this white paper argues that effective patient care is not an individual endeavour. It highlights the cultural hurdles that can undermine patient care, such as siloed teams and rigid hierarchies, and offers a grounded example of how a UK NHS Clinical Education Department reimagined how its teams work together.
Blending research with a case study from the Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board in Wales, the paper shows how a process-oriented model of collective leadership, supported by an external consultant, can foster shared responsibility, mutual trust, and cross-specialty teamwork. It documents how this initiative not only improved collaboration but also supported staff well-being and challenged long-standing cultural norms.
