Whether we like it or not, we are in leadership positions as Foundation Doctors, and we will be in management roles as we progress in our careers. Ask any Consultant and they will all say they wish they had more leadership and management development during their training – because all of a sudden, they now chair department meetings, must know about governance structures and will manage budgets of tens to hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Fortunately, there are now a range of opportunities available during our FY1, FY2 (and FY3+) years. These range from self-development activities such as post-graduate education and attending learning events, to leadership and management fellowships at external organisations.
Here, Dr. Raihan Mohammed takes us through several of these opportunities, and shares Q&A interviews with four incredible speakers who discuss their own experiences and reflections of leadership and management. We will hear about studying for a MBA, creating a podcast, leadership roles in your Trust and getting involved in entrepreneurship and their advice for Foundation Doctors looking to get involved in this space.
