title: Consultant development. Role rehearsal.
abstract: Most newly appointed consultants have had no training in management. Consultants who have been in post for several years may need extra management development to become clinical directors, medical directors or chief executives. A training scheme initiated in the West Midlands appears to have been well received and is being extended.
