Master of Science in medical leadership
Editor – I read with interest the article on the varied academic approaches to medical leadership (Clin Med October 2010 pp 477–9). I was surprised, however, that the authors failed to include a reference to Kent, Surrey and Sussex deanery's clinical leadership fellowship which is now in its second year and has the advantage that it combines practical management experience for a cohort of registrars in hospital trusts with a work-based masters at Brighton Business School in clinical leadership and healthcare management. There is also the benefit that this is a fully funded/salaried position which none of the other courses appear to be. If the desire is for younger physicians to be involved and experienced in management and lead on transformational change projects then this format perhaps represents the pre-eminent approach in the field and deserves a mention.
