I start by arguing that ethical discourse in general would be enriched if we paid more attention to the concrete practices through which moral commitments are implemented. Focusing on the specific case of moral leadership in healthcare organisations, I argue medical ethics not only needs to pay more attention to moral practice but it also needs to attend to the moral challenges that confront healthcare organisations as corporate entities. I identify five central sets of medical leadership values and examine the behaviours associated with them, which I call fiduciary, bureaucratic, collegial, inquisitorial and reparative propriety. I then consider how these 'proprieties' unavoidably come into conflict in healthcare organisations. The practice of moral leadership is thus essentially about promoting organisational narratives capable of holding these conflicts and tensions in balance. Analysing the organisational ethical challenges medical directors identified, I propose that a central concern of moral leaders in ethical healthcare organisations must be protecting patients from harm and morally managing medical harm when it inevitably occurs. I conclude with discussion of how medical ethical education must change to equip future clinicians with practical ethical skills.

What we got was absurd: the fobbing-off of a lifetime. Denial to the level that I wanted to actually go and shake them and say ‘Wake up. A child died. She did not die because she was sick. She died because of what you have done to her’. We quickly recognised that they were not up for any kind of admission of responsibility, or learning from it. So that is when we wrote the complaint.

It is set against a backdrop of a workforce recruitment and retention crisis predicted to worsen in coming years. There is a need to do things differently in healthcare, including better diversity and distribution of leadership. We make the case for senior non-consultant doctors, in the UK more usually referred to as specialty and associate specialist or locally employed doctors. These skilled, experienced medics have much to offer yet are frequently overlooked, with little guidance or support from central organisations and medical colleges or within NHS Trusts themselves. In this commentary, we suggest ways this workforce might be better tapped into, to the benefit of patients and healthcare systems, as well as the doctors themselves.
