| Annotation | The purpose of this paper was to identify aspects of leadership and evaluate their contribution to safeguarding vulnerable adults in healthcare organisations through conducting a critical review of literature. The study sought to identify or adapt a leadership framework to contribute to safeguarding vulnerable adults in healthcare organisations through analysis of the literature. Literature was sourced from a variety of health and social care databases and grey literature. All inclusions underwent rigorous critical appraisal and a total of 18 papers were explored. The importance of clear leadership and direction was a common theme across the majority of sources. Aspects of leadership that could safeguard vulnerable adults in health care organisations included organisational culture, implementation of policies, procedures and frameworks, and reinforcing strong values and ethics around empowering individuals and delivering person-centred care. Through the meta-synthesis of findings, a model of leadership emerged that could be applied within healthcare organisations to safeguard vulnerable adults. (JL). |
