Leadership opportunities for trainees in England

FMLM has launched, in partnership with Health Education England, a toolkit to help junior doctors' to improve their medical leadership skills.

The resource, called Developing medical leadership: a toolkit for doctors in postgraduate training, points trainees towards various avenues for enhancing their leadership skills.

These include e-modules that are freely available online, the key literature to read including FMLM's leadership standards for medical professionals, as well as joining committees, undertaking quality improvement projects, and applying to a competitive leadership development scheme, such as the National Medical Director's Clinical Fellow Scheme.

The toolkit brings together, in one easy-to-reference document, the various career development opportunities for junior doctors based in England.

Please download the PDF and share this resource with colleagues.
