title: Management: the one disease consultants did not think existed.
abstract: Considers progress made in involving doctors in management, drawing on available ethnographies of local health-care systems and a small-scale study of consultants who have moved into clinical director roles or the equivalent. Specifically considers the extent to which the sample believes consultant roles have changed as a result of the recent reorganization of the NHS and general concerns about the involvement of doctors in management.
