“Having been a medical leader for many years the FMLM Fellowship provided me with an opportunity to receive formal recognition of the work and outcome from all those years.  This is a public statement of the value of clinical leadership as a career option.” 
Dr Sarah Schofield, Founding Senior Fellow of FMLM
 

Why certification?

Patients and healthcare systems require the very best leaders. The Francis report on Mid Staffordshire Foundation Trust and the Kirkup report on Morecambe Bay Foundation Trust emphasise the importance of setting standards and the professionalisation of leadership in driving the quality of healthcare in which doctors play a significant role.

The ability to benchmark medical leaders against national standards has never been more important given the increasing accountability and responsibility that doctors have with respect to the effectiveness and efficiency of healthcare delivery and health advice, as well as safety and quality. Fellowship of the Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management (FMLM) plays a key role in professionalising medical leadership by accrediting high performing and effective medical leaders against national Leadership and Management Standards for Medical Professionals.

Fellowship is available to FMLM members at five levels:

  • Senior Fellowship
  • Fellowship
  • Associate Fellowship
  • Collaborative Fellowship (non doctors and dentists)
  • International Fellowship (those working abroad not registered with the General Medical Council)

The standalone International Fellowship category is for those doctors and dentists who do not have the national or regional opportunity to have their leadership knowledge recognised as a qualification.
Collaborative Fellowship is designed for healthcare leaders and managers, from any clinical or non-clinical discipline, who are not doctors or dentists.

The application pathway for our Collaborative Fellowship and International Fellowship requires you to contact FMLM to receive your application form. Please get in touch with fellowship [at] fmlm.ac.uk to receive an application form.
