Facilitators

Workshop Description

In this highly interactive workshop we draw on our experience in the  KSS School of leadership to demonstrate the many benefits of developing leadership programmes for doctors (undergraduate upwards) which are based on practice-based inquiry. In particular we will be drawing on specific examples and cases to show how leadership education programmes developed around practice-based inquiry provides opportunities for doctors to learn to develop services, and their own practice as leaders and followers in the clinical setting. Throughout the workshop, we will be providing participants with resources and opportunities to help them develop leadership education programmes informed by practice-based inquiry in their own educational settings.
