Healthcare Executives – the essentials for excellence in leadership and management -
Professor Dirk Pickuth is an international BIR member who sits on the Management Group of the Leadership & Management SIG. He has written this book on healthcare leadership and managment. The foreword is written by Professor Dame Janet Husband DBE, President of the British Institute of Radiology from 2003 to 2004 and President of the Royal College of Radiologists from 2004 to 2007.
