  The challenges facing clinical managers in the NHS today are many and diverse, but few are more fundamental than resource constraints. This book presents a managerial approach to the use of resources in the delivery of patient care and the use of information to aid decision-making. It aims to provide a hands-on enabling tool for clinical managers which explains the how not just the what of management theory. Concentrating on theories which are not only highly relevant, but readily applicable in practice, the main topics include: resource management, project management, information management, project management, information management, quality, human resource management and marketing. Each chapter contains objectives identifying the key points, references to current research and suggestions for further reading. Action guidelines at the end of each chapter actively promote the application of key concepts to practice, and a glossary of management terms is included.
