Leadership and quality improvement
Our Trust board and Medical education leadership team actively encourage you to take up clinical leadership and quality improvement learning experiences. Previous medical students and doctors have undertaken courses, shadowing, experiential learning and contributed to change across our organisation. Some of this has led to national and international published work.

What our doctors say
“Junior doctors bring a fresh perspective to the organisation, and many of them have new ideas to offer, which directly improve patient care. The MediLead programme is a way of empowering doctors who are new to the Trust to talk about their ideas with colleagues.
“Sharing insights and new approaches helps foster a professional culture, where robust challenge and open discussion is valued, so that every idea aimed at improving care for our patients is welcomed and explored.”
"The programme was really interactive blending teaching and practical activities, the tools helped develop my ideas and made me see the wider picture of improvement"
