Maximising management investment in the NHS : report of a survey carried out for the National Staff Committee for Administrative and Clerical Staff and the National Health Service Training Authority
This report contains the findings of a survey of ex-national trainees who are not currently working in the NHS. A surprisingly large number of trainees left the Service before reaching senior positions. Not only did this represent a waste of the money and manpower which had gone into their training but it also seemed to carry an implied criticism of the narrowness of the career opportunities offered by the NHS. This report was funded by the NSCACS in the hope of learning why this group of health service managers left the NHS and have not returned.
