Background:
There have been significant changes in primary care in the last decade, and more will come with the changing demographics to an older population with more care likely to be in the community setting. Strong leadership is known to be linked with positive patient outcomes and experience as well as staff recruitment and retention. Development of skills in leadership is not just about reacting to external pressures and changes, but the desire to drive change and improvements in our everyday work and practice systems to improve the quality of care to our patients. Good leadership and effective teamwork has the potential to scale these improvement interventions to support communities and populations.
