The Impact

IntroductionThe inclusion of leadership within the General Medical Council Outcomes has encouraged UK medical schools to incorporate leadership into curricula, although it is often delivered in classroom environments. In order to illustrate to our clinical students that leadership skills are useful irrespective of positional authority, the University of Buckingham Medical School has developed a week-long programme illustrating the impact that junior and trainee doctors can have on the National Health Service environment (in a week).MethodsStudents received lectures on leadership principles and conducted focus groups and 1 min interviews to assess the values at Milton Keynes University Hospital (MKUH). Students collated the responses, and all MKUH staff, including the executive board, were invited to hear the feedback.Findings and conclusionsThe students concluded that a review of the hospital’s values was required and the executive board committed to a review which has been completed, with the values redefined and reworded. At the end of the week, 92.3% of students felt their perspective had been broadened and some reported feeling empowered by the impact that a weeks’ work could achieve. This short course has illustrated that an active approach to leadership can demonstrate to students that leadership is not just for those in positions of responsibility and change can be achieved by anyone with ambition.

The Impact

The importance of humanities in the medical curriculum is increasingly recognized. For example, in the United Kingdom, The General Medical Council (GMC), which is an independent body established under the Medical Act 1858 and responsible, among other things, for fostering good medical practice and promoting high standards of medical education, in its publication Tomorrow’s Doctors, encouraged inclusion of humanities in the medical curriculum. Literature, arts, poetry, and philosophy are thought to foster the doctors’ ability to “communicate with patients, to penetrate more deeply into the patient’s wider narrative, and to seek more diverse ways of promoting well being and reducing the impact of illness or disability.”

And Training

UNSTRUCTURED The UK General Medical Council (GMC) explicitly states doctors have a duty to ‘contribute to teaching and training…by acting as a positive role model’. However, recent studies suggest some are not fulfilling this, which is impacting medical students' experiences and attitudes during their training. As such, doctors have a duty to act as role models and teachers, as specified by the GMC, which it seems are not currently being fulfilled. This would improve the medical students’ learning experiences and demonstrate good professional values for them to emulate. Therefore, these duties should be as important as patient care, since this will influence future generations.
