TY - JOUR T1 - Learning leadership skills in practice through quality improvement JF - Clinical Medicine JO - Clin Med SP - 12 LP - 15 DO - 10.7861/clinmedicine.14-1-12 VL - 14 IS - 1 AU - James Gamble AU - Emma Vaux Y1 - 2014/02/01 UR - http://www.rcpjournals.org/content/14/1/12.abstract N2 - The development of leadership skills in doctors in training is essential to support both their professional development and the future supply of clinical leaders the NHS so desperately needs. There is, however, limited opportunity in current training programmes for trainees to learn and develop these skills, and what opportunity there is has often focused on management rather than leadership skills. Involvement in trainee-led supported quality improvement projects can teach these skills. We summarise the current limitations in leadership training and discuss how the College's ‘Learning To Make a Difference’ programme, and others like it, are helping to teach leadership. ER -
