Learn how to innovate, lead responsibly and navigate change to transform your own clinical practice and leadership.
King’s Health Partners Academic Surgery is offering a full-year executive fellowship programme which aims to teach leadership as the process of implementing positive change in dynamic, volatile or complex environments.
As part of this programme fellows will study six original Harvard Business School cases and be registered with Harvard Business Publishing. This fellowship boasts a faculty with real-world med tech, entrepreneurship, and leadership expertise and offers a flexible course structure to suit full-time clinicians.
The unique programme frames leadership through the perspective of four key domains:
- Risk and crisis management
- Innovation and entrepreneurship
- Diplomacy and people management
- Systems design and Culture creation
Programme structure
The executive fellowship consists of a full-year executive fellowship programme integrated within hospitals affiliated with King’s Health Partners, including Guy’s Hospital, St. Thomas’ Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and King’s College London Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. Delivered both in person and virtually, we have designed this programme to fit around your clinical commitments.
The first term will involve weekly sessions - taught in the evening - which will alternate between the two core modules:
- Module 1: Leadership Principles: Harvard Business School Cases
- Module 2: Med Tech Innovation and Entrepreneurship
The rest of your time will be focused on completing your clinical project and an additional innovation project which will deliver a healthcare related intervention at a Trust or Department level.
