BackgroundThe changing demands of healthcare and ongoing advances in practice and technology require corresponding change and development of the physiotherapy profession. Physiotherapy professional organisations perform many important functions in ensuring the ongoing growth and success of the profession. The leaders of these organisations therefore have key roles in progressing the physiotherapy profession in their country. To date, however, there has been very little written about these physiotherapy leaders and their work for the profession.PurposeTo explore the professional leadership journeys of international physiotherapy leaders and their experiences of leading physiotherapy professional organisations.MethodsSemistructured interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of 16 physiotherapy leaders from a range of physiotherapy professional organisations from around the world. The interviews were analysed using inductive thematic analysis.ResultsThree main themes were found in the analysis of the data: ‘Leadership roles, behaviours and challenges’, ‘Perceptions of the profession of physiotherapy’ and ‘Leadership development’.ConclusionsThe physiotherapy leaders describe interesting and varied roles that can also be challenging and demanding. They recognise the many challenges facing the physiotherapy profession internationally and the need for physiotherapists to more effectively advocate for the profession and demonstrate leadership. Leadership development opportunities and mentoring may be potential strategies to enable the development of future leaders of the physiotherapy profession.

Clinical leadership has been addressed in many health care professions; yet, there is little research in dietetics. This qualitative study explored registered dietitian nutritionists' (RDNs'; n = 561) perspectives on what clinical leadership is in dietetics practice and what barriers exist to practicing it. Two thematic analyses were explored. RDNs described dietetics clinical leadership as including strong technical skills, interpersonal interactions, and specific personal attributes. RDNs described barriers to practicing clinical leadership that included the work environment, limited resources, and individual circumstances/attributes. Managers may consider these perspectives as they work with clinical RDNs, and educators can incorporate these findings into the dietetics curriculum.
