Fundamentals of self-leadership for doctors - 8 December 2025

Stepping into medical leadership can feel daunting but is also crucial in shaping the future of healthcare and is of growing importance for the career development of all doctors.
This workshop is designed to empower you with the essential organisational leadership skills needed to navigate complex healthcare systems, advocate for your team, and champion equality, diversity, and inclusion.
This workshop is primarily aimed at resident doctors of all specialties (ST1 - ST7) and SAS doctors of equivalent experience. It would also be beneficial for those who are new to leadership roles, or those with no prior leadership training.
Consultants and SAS doctors of equivalent experience may attend, generally benefitting as a refresher course or if they have not attended any previous leadership training.
Alternatively, there are two workshops that are more appropriate for consultants and equivalent SAS doctors:
By the end of this workshop you will be able to:
- discuss the value of clinical leadership and investigate the relationship between leadership and management
- develop a clear understanding of how to develop as a leader, using different leadership theory and models
- debate the roles power and influence play in leadership
examine the importance of emotional intelligence and knowing your values - discuss the importance of feedback and self-reflection
- develop self-leadership strategies to protect yourself
- apply what you have learnt to solve problems, and use that knowledge to directly influence your leadership practice
- identify steps for further continuous leadership development.
This workshop can be attended on a standalone basis, or learners can also attend the Fundamentals of leading others for doctors workshop, and together with a short reflective assignment can gain their ‘Doctors as Leaders accreditation’ from the RCP.
