4th Session: Working with others Thursday 14 October: 7pm - 8:30pm
'Working with Others' is one of the competency domains of the NHS Leadership Framework. Effective leadership requires individuals to influence and work with others to inspire, drive teams and improve the delivery of healthcare. Aimed at doctors in training, the workshop will focus on interpersonal skills, including establishing rapport, matching and pacing, effective listening, understanding how different individuals take in information and giving feedback.
