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.
