Developing Leadership Skills for Doctors

“A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.” Henrik Ibsen

While the main focus of a doctor’s commitment is their professional practice, all doctors hold a clear responsibility to directly contribute to the effective running of the hospital or trust in which they work, and to its future direction. As such, the General Medical Council and NHS have stated that the development of leadership competencies for doctors needs to be addressed as an indispensable part of their training and learning.

Jointly developed by The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges and the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement, t he Medical Leadership Competency Framework (MLCF) is intended as a guideline and check post for the development of these leadership skills, and to enable a doctor in the NHS to be a:

·         Practitioner

·         Partner

·         Leader

Following the principles set out in the MLCF, our Leadership and Management Course for Middle Grade Doctors has been designed by NHS professionals to introduce you to leadership strategies and techniques that you can implement to not only improve your own performance, but that of your team and trust.

Held over two days and holding full CPD / CME accreditation (12 points), features of the course include:

·         Five different levels of leaderships

·         Characteristics of an influential person and the behaviours to use when influencing others

·         Stages of team formation and setting out the role and responsibilities of each member

·         Managing services – maintaining and developing relationships with colleagues, resolving conflict and managing performance

·         Personality styles of leaders and followers – amending your approach to each situation

At the end of the course each delegate will also be able to:

·         Keep a record of their learning experiences so that learning points can be reflected upon and referred to after the course

·         Have the opportunity to prepare a detailed Action Plan which sets SMART objectives, activities with timescales, together with the Record of Learning and Action Plan, a method of incorporating what you have learnt into your everyday practice
