Summary
Since Sir Roy Griffiths' report (1983), doctors have been encouraged to perceive themselves at the centre of the NHS management process, that is that part of the NHS concerned with its organisation and not directly concerned with patient care. This report generated a new ideology in which management responsibility is explicitly recognised both in doctors' training and in their role in constructing a system of management budgets. To execute effectively their management and advisory roles within the NHS, it is essential that doctors fully understand the Health Service as an organisation and have acquired both management appreciation and skills. Apart from Griffiths' report, other pressures have emerged which have sensitised some doctors to the necessity ofexpanding their role into the management arena These include an economic and political climate which places a great emphasis on reallocating funds, a growing awareness of consumer demands and satisfaction, and radical changes in the organisation and delivery of care, especially for the mentally ill and mentally handicapped. We have referred to a number of documents and papers on management training (NHS Training Authority, 1986; The Northern Ireland Council for Postgraduate Medical Education Group, 1986; Parry, 1985; Working Party on Management Training, 1985)
