Lilly Lecture 2018 summary and video
This year’s Lilly lecture was delivered by Professor Megan Reitz, Associate Professor of Leadership and Dialogue for Ashridge Business School.
Excerpt from FMLM webpage: “how does our power silence others or invite others? Do we know the signals we send out, if so, can we amend them? Prof Reitz covered some pithy, relevant issues affecting the medical profession, but delivered them in a highly entertaining manner. Her points about speaking up, “taking place somewhere between courage and invitation”, and the judicious use of ‘silence’ we impose on ourselves resonated with many in the audience.”

NHS Improvement “initiated the project in response to requests from directors of nursing for guidance about developing AHP leadership in their organisations. It is not possible to set out a single model of AHP leadership. However, evidence indicates that senior AHP leadership has quantifiable quality benefits for trusts that have established senior AHP leadership roles.”

Discipline-specific competency-based curricula for leadership learning in medical specialty training
Leadership in Health Services; Vol. 31, Iss. 2, (2018): 152-166
Excerpt “The aim of this review was to summarise the scholarly literature available around medical specialty-specific competency-based curricula for leadership in the post-graduate training space. Findings: In this study, 39 articles were retrieved in full text for detailed examination, of which 32 did not comply with the full inclusion criteria. Seven articles defining discipline-linked competencies/curricula specific to medical leadership training were identified. These related to the areas of emergency medicine, general practice, maternal and child health, obstetrics and gynaecology, pathology, radiology and radiation oncology. Leadership interventions were critiqued in relation to key features of their design, development and content, with reference to modern leadership concepts.”
