Key Learning Points
1. The role of the intensive care medicine specialist as a manager, or leader, contributes to the efficiency of the intensive care unit.
2. These non-clinical responsibilities evolve over the lifetime of the specialist’s career.
3. A significant proportion of the managerial and administrative work occurs as part of normal daily activities.
4. The lead clinician or clinical director will assume most of the strategic responsibilities, but some of these, and those directly related to service delivery, may be delegated.
5. Local/national healthcare legislation and the ethical framework within which medicine is practised will affect strategic decision-making.
