Abstract
This article analyses the concept of leadership in relation to the UK Government’s current
approach to ‘modernizing’ the NHS in England. Focusing on public health in primary care, the
authors consider current developments in the public health workforce, in particular attempts to
differentiate between public health ‘specialists’ and ‘practitioners’ by different levels of leadership
function. It looks at leadership in policy, theory and practice, and draws attention to a number
of key challenges along the leadership path. The concept of ‘leadership skills’ as a taught
competence is questioned, and Shelton and Darling’s (2001) ‘quantum skills’ model of leadership
is provided to suggest new ways in which public health leadership in a primary care context might
be approached. Whilst this article focuses on public health and primary care in England, the
complexity of primary care settings and public health delivery in other international contexts
extends its relevance to non-UK settings.
