They pose a series of questions including “Why is leadership development important to you and your trainees?” and “What does leadership development mean to you and how have you been supported to develop your leadership?”
On today’s episode, Jamie Smyth is joined by compassionate leadership guru Professor Michael West, a Professor of Work and Organisational Psychology at Lancaster University and Pediatric Palliative Care Specialist and Associate Medical Director for Workforce at Great Ormond Street Hospitals for Children, Dr. Renee McCulloch.

To kick off the series, FMLM’s Angus Waite speaks to Dr. Ming-Ka Chan, a Paediatrician and Co-Director of the Office of Leadership Education at Rady Faculty Health Sciences, and Dr. Simon Moralee, a Senior Lecturer in Healthcare Management at the University of Manchester and Director of the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Programme. They discuss the basics of developing leadership skills, what it means to be a medical leader and the perceptions of leadership by different generations and much of the skepticism the term faces.
In this podcast series, we will explore the pivotal role of leadership in healthcare and how effective management practices can revolutionize patient care, organizational efficiency and professional growth. We will speak with current and upcoming leaders about navigating leadership in the healthcare space and their experiences with doing so. So if you’re a seasoned healthcare executive, a budding clinician or simply somebody passionate about the intersection between leadership and healthcare, we invite you to join us.
