Welcome to the FMLM trainee steering group's webinar exploring how senior leaders can empower trainees in their leadership journeys. This webinar will build on the discussion as part of the plenary session at the FMLM conference in 2024. We hope to continue the inspired discussion with practical tips on how trainees can develop their careers in leadership.
This interactive session explains some of the growing evidence underpinning the value of trainee leadership at team, organisational and system level before exploring the diverse ways in which trainees can access leadership development opportunities. The session will examine opportunities for trainees working clinically full-time, less than full time, via secondment or during out of programme periods.
Attendees will hear inspirational stories from a diverse range of leaders who have supported trainees from early career to later training stages, leading within a variety of contexts. Through this, a rich picture of the possibilities available to trainees and ways to further their leadership paths will be created, empowering them. This session will also examine how senior leaders and employers can help facilitate, elevate and champion inclusive trainee development in tangible ways and harness the value of their leadership.
Speakers:
Dr Clare is an acute medicine consultant working at City Hospital in Birmingham and is an incredible advocate for trainees and for women in leadership. She recently received an MBE in recognition of her crucial work during the first years of the Covid-19 pandemic, is a deputy medical director within SWB Trust, the first woman President of the West Midlands Physicians Association, NHSE Midlands regional advisor, involved in the regional 'Tomorrows Leaders' conference and leading the Women Empowering Women movement to name but a few past activities, projects and seminal influencing work.
Dr Ratcliff is a salaried GP working in Newcastle. As a registrar/trainee/resident (the nomenclature seems very dynamic currently!), then continuing following completion of training, she established the North East England faculty of the Next Generation GP programme. Next Gen GP provides freely accessible sessions featuring expert leaders either within General Practice or who have impact or crossover with leadership within primary care to any GP registrar or GP within the first five years post CCT (First 5 GP).
Dr Crimslick is a psychiatrist and Executive Medical Director of Sheffield Health and Social Care Trust, current RCPsych specialist workforce advisor and, I believe past Associate Registrar for Leadership and Management (leading establishment of the trainee L+M fellowship) and GenerationQ fellow to name one of many past seminal roles and outputs including important work for LED and SAS doctors.
Dr Collings is a psychiatrist in Wales, lead for HEIW's Welsh Clinical Leadership Fellowship (I believe now beginning its 12th year?), HEIW's Director of Medic Support and Professionalism (spanning trainee to SAS grades and more) and lead Dean for Core Surgery within CoPMED - again, just to name a few of his important roles and remits.
