It looks at the recent research supporting these ideas and outlines new directions for future research and practices development. There is growing evidence that greater involvement of healthcare professionals in the governance of care organizations is positively associated with increased care quality and safety. Recent research further suggests that a critical mass of doctors can help senior management in delivering on their governance responsibilities.

As well as locating this growing body of research in wider social science debates, it outlines a number of potential lines for future enquiry.
