Graduation speeches
Dr Nadine Hachach-Haram delivered an inspirational talk to the KHP Executive Fellowship in Surgical Leadership class of 2023. In her talk, she inspired fellows with her personal journey of surgical innovation and entrepreneurship. Moving from California to Beirut in the late 80s, she learned a lot about life and surgery.
All of the consultants on this Fellowship Course were very inspiring for all of us as surgical trainees.... I think with this course, understanding how to develop your idea from an idea into a project, has made me more interested in having more ideas and working through them.
We discuss multiple cases successful and cases poorly managed from historians and this gives us a very good hollistic approach to see how we can adapt this into the NHS.
I wanted to fine-tune some of my management and leadership skills. I have done things like this before. I have done an MBA previously but it didn't give me the specific skills that I wanted and was looking for to utilise in my own practice.
The faculty for the Executive Fellowship in Leadership contribute a wide range of real-world med tech, entrepreneurship, and leadership expertise to the programme.
