Authors' objectives:
The study aimed to investigate how chief executive officers (CEOs) of NHS trusts make decisions and mobilise particular knowledge and 'evidence' in the course of their day-to-day activities.
Authors' recommendations:
By challenging prevailing models of evidence-based practice, our findings could inform the initiatives supporting the work of NHS CEOs and help them become more effective. There are a number of skills that new CEOs may need to learn, and a number of skills, behaviours and attitudes that may need to change over time according to changing circumstances, for a CEO, to conduct her job successfully. Our findings suggest a framework for critically examining how, and how effectively, NHS managers may make themselves knowledgeable given the demands of their jobs.
