AB  - Describes the range of issues considered in designing a programme of
education and development for NHS managers. The programme took the form
of a certificate and diploma in management studies with a very
work‐based approach using action learning sets and applied theory and
techniques. Briefly discusses the recent history and debates in
management education together with the tensions caused by academic focus
on critical analysis and evaluation and the workplace focus of being
effective and making improvements. This programme attempts to recognize
and build on the strengths of both approaches and also to add some of
the best practice from trainers′ experience of designing personal
development plans. Discusses the emphasis on reflective learning and the
use of research‐based assignments instead of conventional exams.
Concludes with some indications of possible future developments from
this model.
