Although we recognise that leadership is important in medicine, it is far more than text in a curriculum or a tick box in a competency framework. Leadership is a life skill and is mostly about people. For this reason, it can't really be taught, but it can be learned through experience, equipped with the right tools. Want to get the best out of your leadership experiences? Want to know and recognise leadership skills you already have? And build upon those skills? Join our TWO-PART leadership forum series. This leadership forum series is suitable for all GPSTs, from ST1 through to ST3, as well as newly qualified GPs.
