Webinar: Develop your leadership skills

Good leadership is a central aspect of quality and safety in healthcare organisations. Surgical teams require leaders who understand the needs of patients and can inspire and manage the team to deliver those needs. Technical skills need to be complemented by non-clinical skills in order to facilitate communication and effective team-working and lead to safer patient care.

Leadership is a vital skill for all members of the surgical team, particularly when building your career and changing roles. Not only can you develop your leadership skills through attending RCS events and courses but also through working with us on our Council, partaking in our leadership programmes, leading within our networks and teaching or leading and facilitating our exams and courses. The opportunities are endless and empowering yourself to develop your skills will benefit you and those around you.  

Furthermore, as part of our leadership offer we are running this webinar on 4 June where we will discuss the rationale for effective leadership and the recommended attributes and behaviours expected of the surgical leader. Tune in for an insight into standards and recommendations that can inform training, development and assessment of surgical leaders and leadership. The focus is on achieving positive outcomes for patient safety and a culture that promotes safe, efficient and compassionate care of patients and staff.
