Fundamentals of leading others for doctors

Chief Registrar Image

Stepping into medical leadership can feel daunting but is also crucial in shaping the future of healthcare and is of growing importance for the career development of all doctors.

This workshop is designed to empower you with the essential organisational leadership skills needed to navigate complex healthcare systems, advocate for your team, and champion equality, diversity, and inclusion.

Doctors as Leaders accreditation

This workshop can be attended on a standalone basis, or learners can also attend the 'Fundamentals of self-leadership for doctors' workshop, and together with a short reflective assignment can gain their ‘Doctors as Leaders accreditation’ from the RCP. 

Details of the assignment are discussed during both workshops, which can be attended in any order, and can also be found here.

 

What will you learn?

This workshop help learners to:

  • Develop a practical use for leadership styles
  • Recognise and utilise the strengths of others in clinical teams
  • Identify ways to improve motivation, engagement and energy within teams
  • Explore ways to overcome the challenges of leading others
  • Discuss ways to facilitate a culture of psychological safety
  • Debate the role of the junior/middle leader in supporting team
  • Develop understanding of equality, diversity and inclusion
  • Examine the importance of supporting and developing others

Who should attend?

This workshop is primarily aimed at resident doctors of all specialties (ST1 - ST7) and SAS doctors of equivalent experience. It would also be beneficial for those who are new to leadership roles, or those with no prior leadership training. 
Consultants and SAS doctors of equivalent experience may attend, generally benefitting as a refresher course or if they have not attended any previous leadership training. 

Alternatively, there are two workshops that are more appropriate for consultants and equivalent SAS doctors:

  • Developing yourself as a senior medical leader
  • Leading teams and culture in senior medical roles
