Clinical training and background is not the same as leadership. Where does a potential clinical leader turn to for help and advice? This small, handy volume, specifically written for such purpose, instills the much desired soft skills of leadership. It is not linked to any particular healthcare system. The focus on leadership as a means to influence healthcare culture, is rightly attracting new attention internationally. There is a lack of published advice aimed at clinical leadership and the time is ripe to channel and develop formal pathways to support this previously unrecognized need.

This book helps all those working in maternity services to improve the quality of the care they offer. Improvement is driven by clinical effectiveness and increasing patient demands, and for each area of practice described this book outlines the service organisation needed to achieve this improvement. The goal is to help clinicians take responsibility for developing services that meet the needs of their patients as well as managing their individual medical conditions. The book demonstrates that much can be achieved within current resources and without major additional expense. Different approaches are demonstrated, but the key issue is the patient pathway. Trainees, clinicians, managers and commissioners of services will find this book of practical value. There should be a copy on the shelves of every hospital obstetric unit.

It seems appropriate then, that the fourth international conference Information Technology in Health Care, should re-visit these themes now to examine how safer systems can be designed and implemented to improve patient safety. This book presents the proceedings of that conference. Many policies and programs have been initiated internationally to stimulate the use of electronic health care and record systems. Unfortunately, these do not always run smoothly. For exam
