Everyday leadership in clinical practice
Everyday clinical practice presents opportunities to demonstrate leadership and management, regardless of seniority or formal responsibility.
This interactive 1-day workshop explores how clinicians and other healthcare professionals can make a positive difference through their everyday behaviours, communication and contributions to multidisciplinary teams.
Following five interconnected scenarios set during a busy hospital shift, you'll explore realistic workplace challenges, consider different perspectives and reflect on how you might respond. From navigating competing expectations and managing relationships under pressure to speaking up, working across professional boundaries and supporting improvements, the workshop brings leadership and management into the realities of clinical practice.
With practical activities, group discussion and accessible leadership concepts, you'll develop a greater awareness of your own impact and identify approaches you can apply in your working environment.
- Recognise and demonstrate everyday leadership without formal authority.
- Develop self-awareness and manage your responses under pressure.
- Work effectively with different professional and patient perspectives.
- Communicate constructively, influence others and speak up appropriately.
- Contribute to learning, teamwork and manageable improvements.
You will take away a clearer understanding of everyday leadership and management, practical approaches for working effectively with others, and a personal action plan to support your ongoing development.
The workshop supports development in areas reflected in the 2026 UK Foundation Programme curriculum, particularly those relating to effective team membership, sharing leadership, clinical prioritisation, continuity of care, communication and quality improvement.
It also draws upon principles of effective teamworking, leadership and management, professional responsibility and speaking up reflected in GMC guidance.
Although particularly relevant to foundation doctors, its focus on everyday professional behaviours makes the learning applicable across multidisciplinary healthcare teams.
Designed primarily for foundation/resident doctors, this introductory workshop is also relevant to other clinicians and healthcare professionals who are beginning to develop their leadership and management skills.
No previous formal leadership training is required.
