Effective leadership is recognised as an integral part of providing high quality, safe care for patients. Leadership is being integrated in O&G and you will be called upon to provide leadership in a variety of settings throughout your professional life. Although there is a plethora of leadership courses they are often too generic and taught using traditional methods. This workshop aims to ascertain how we can deliver an O&G tailored leadership programme, building a tool kit for active leadership in O&G. Participants have been selected to input their thoughts and feedback to take forward this initiative.
