Leadership and management

General Practitioners are natural leaders, constantly driving positive change at practice, locality and system level, in an ever-changing primary care landscape. The RCGP Leadership Strategy recognises that GPs require effective skills to operate in a variety of environments and provides a framework for the College to provide this support.

As part of a wider programme of CPD provision, the RCGP is identifying high quality resources to help members develop leadership capabilities in a range of GP-specific contexts, with a particular focus on compassionate, collaborative and inclusive leadership approaches. By doing so, we aim to equip our members to fulfil their leadership potential with benefits for local and national systems, practice teams, the GP and, most importantly, raise the quality of care for patients.

As we begin this journey, we invite you to tell us how you think we can best support you and submit your own leadership story.
