This report investigates findings arising from interviews with nine senior clinicians at Cumbria Partnership Foundation Trust (henceforth CPFT), evaluating their experiences of using the Senior Clinicians’ Role Profile tool (henceforth SCRP) during its pilot in 2013. The SCRP itself was developed for use by senior clinicians working at/towards an accountable decision-making level in response to requests for a tool that would describe the leadership competencies and behaviours of a corporate clinician. Using the SCRP is intended to provide “details of behaviours that are highly relevant to success in a senior clinician role,” and “valuable information regarding your strengths and areas for development.” (NHS North West Leadership Academy, 2012, p.4)
