‘I am truly delighted to be recommending this book and suite of resources to you – I trust that you will find them as inspiring and thought provoking as I have done’

This new book of leadership narratives portrays the reality of driving change within primary care, making it a valuable resource for a broad primary care audience. It empowers both clinicians and non-clinicians by helping them recognise and harness their leadership qualities. The book weaves together stories from diverse primary care practitioners operating at different levels from junior to senior, in both clinical practice and large-scale operations. These narratives showcase how these professionals applied their leadership skills, navigated challenges, and distilled valuable lessons from their experiences.
To enhance the reader’s understanding, the editors have added their own insights to each contribution, emphasising the lessons that the broader community can glean. Rather than reiterating theoretical concepts, they refer back to their companion book, The Leadership Hike.
