Enhancing health in care homes: system leadership in action

Enhancing health in care homes: system leadership in action "Effective leadership in complex systems is not solely an attribute of top bosses, but is better understood as a shared process of many ‘small’ (and great) leaders working together"

This quote came to mind when we reflected on the outcomes of our first King’s Fund/My Home Life Care homes, health, housing and social care learning network – a network established to improve collaborative working between many of the organisations involved in improving the health of older people living in care homes.

‘System leadership’ was not a topic on the network’s agenda, nor was this phrase mentioned by participants, even though skilled system leadership is required to drive the close co-ordination between care homes and other organisations – in health, social care and housing – needed to enhance the health of care home residents.
