Leading teams and culture in senior medical roles

This intensive one-day workshop will equip experienced medical leaders with the skills to cultivate inclusive workplace cultures within diverse healthcare teams.

You will explore the nuances of unconscious bias, explore strategies for fostering psychological safety, and learn to champion equity through inclusive communication and decision making. Through interactive case studies and group discussions, you will develop practical tools for building collaborate environments where every team member feels valued and empowered, ultimately enhancing patient care through a culture of belonging.

What will you learn?

This 1-day workshop will cover the following areas:

discuss and debate the complexities of workplace culture and examine the challenges facing the NHS
consider strategies for developing a more inclusive leadership style
develop ways to create psychological safety in your teams and consider the role compassionate leadership plays in effective leadership
compare the challenges faced across different specialties when leading multidisciplinary teams and discuss appropriate ways to overcome them
identify ways you can support and develop others within your team
reflect on your approach to leading others and develop effective strategies for you to take away with you in the form of an action plan

Who should attend?

This workshop is primarily aimed at consultant level doctors of all specialties and SAS doctors of equivalent experience. It may also be beneficial for those close to CCT with prior leadership training, but we would encourage you to get in touch to confirm suitability.

Alternatively, there are two workshops that are more appropriate for residents and equivalent SAS doctors with less leadership experience:

Fundamentals of self-leadership for doctors
Fundamentals of leading others for doctors

Doctors as Leaders accreditation

This workshop can be attended on a standalone basis, or learners can also attend the 'Developing yourself as a senior medical leader' 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.

Learners who have already achieved their Doctors as Leaders accreditation from the RCP will not need to undertake the accreditation again. It is offered during this senior level programme for those who did not complete it, for whatever reason, in the introductory workshops.

This event is available either online using Microsoft Teams, or in-person at our London or Liverpool sites.
