Leading teams and culture in senior medical roles

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

By the end of this workshop you will be able to:

• 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.

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. 

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.
