Corporate partnership impact
Emerging Women Leaders
Emerging Women Leaders is a year-long development programme designed to address the lack of female leadership in high level roles within healthcare. It is a mixture of workshops, talks, networking opportunities and mentoring, supporting female physicians who are aspiring to or have recently taken on leadership roles.
Each year, this programme has been supported by corporate partners who funded free places for physicians. Physicians at trusts without the resources to pay for the training were still able to attend, widening participation and broadening the benefit of the programme.

I found the RCP Emerging Women Leaders Programme to be incredibly liberating. It challenged my previous perception of leadership and gave me permission to approach things differently.
I found the support of the other candidates on the course invaluable as I navigated a new career path.
