We believe that truly effective and patient-centred healthcare can only be achieved by clinicians and managers working as one, to a single shared set of values and standards.We believe that the best way to go about this is to develop top-level leadership and management skills in clinicians of all disciplines.
Fit to Lead sets a structure and framework for medical leadership and management.Underpinned by a set of national standards, Fit to Lead measures the knowledge and skills already in place and defines a learning and development journey unique to each doctor on the programme. The Fit to Lead approach means that the overall needs of both individuals and the NHS can be met through personalised development programmes.
