Finds that\u00a0training can be effective in enabling clinicians to become leaders, but it is also consistent in showing that training is not enough. Identifying the right people for training is important: identifying individuals with a desire to lead but also with existing personal attributes to make them an effective leader is important. There is also a need for a culture of support for change, for leaders to be successful. This support seems to need to be provided as both tangible metrics (such as giving clinicians the time to lead change projects outside of their \u2018day job\u2019) but also in the form of more intangible support and encouragement from senior management to enable others within the organisation to follow the lead of the clinician undertaking the change or quality improvement (QI) project.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Can competition improve management quality in the NHS?\u00a0The Commissioning Elf<\/strong><br \/>\nChris Sampson reports on a discussion paper produced by the Centre for Economic Performance, which looks at the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thecommissioningelf.net\/can-competition-improve-management-quality-nhs\/\" target=\"_blank\"> impact of competition on management quality in hospitals<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>East Midlands trust launches recruitment drive for 140 nurses &#8211;\u00a0Nursing Times<\/strong><br \/>\nSherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has announced plans to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nursingtimes.net\/nursing-practice\/specialisms\/management\/east-midlands-trust-launches-recruitment-drive-for-140-nurses\/5084174.article?referrer=RSS\" target=\"_blank\">recruit 140 nurses<\/a> to help improve patient care and reduce its use of agency staff.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonhslks.com\/contact-us.html\" target=\"_blank\">Contact the Library &amp; Knowledge Service<\/a> to request this article in full or Phn. 01704 704202<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Hit or miss: Lessons from the best and worst A&amp;E performers \u2013 Health Service Journal<\/strong><br \/>\nNHS England\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hsj.co.uk\/home\/commissioning\/hit-or-miss-lessons-from-the-best-and-worst-ae-performers\/5083938.article?referrer=RSS#.VSt8XdzF81M\" target=\"_blank\">failure to meet the four hour A&amp;E waiting time target<\/a> belies a wide variation in performance.
