Community, courage, culture and care: a qualitative study exploring the experiences of planetary health leadership in the UK health context.
Article in BMJ leader, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPlanetary health and the delivery of planetary healthcare are growing concerns for health and health institutions globally. While the leadership required to navigate this evolving arena is an area of increasing study, little research exists exploring the experience and perceptions of leaders in this field.
aimThis study aimed to explore the experiences and perceptions of leaders working towards planetary health in the UK health context, with a view to making recommendations on leadership and leadership development in this field.
methodsA qualitative study with 25 participants with experience of planetary health and/or planetary healthcare leadership. Virtual semistructured interviews were used for data collection and thematically analysed.
resultsSix themes were identified: creating community; managing the scale of the challenge; morality; creating consensus; shaping culture and identity (as leader and/or as activist).
conclusionsThis study highlights the relational, collaborative and moral aspects of leadership as central to the experience of planetary health leadership, offering recommendations for leadership educators to strengthen leadership development in this field. It also identified the critical need for the well-being needs of leaders navigating this emotive and uncharted territory to be appreciated and responded to, along with the importance of legitimising and professionalising action and leadership in this field.
