Future Leaders Programme
The Urology Foundation is delighted to be supporting the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh Future Leaders Programme.
What is the Future Leaders Programme?
Urological surgeons are invited to apply for a funded place on the RCSEd Future Leaders Programme for Surgeons, sponsored by The Urology Foundation.
This 12 month, cohort based leadership course combines four modules – personal, technical, relational and contextual leadership – delivered through virtual and face-to-face forums, coaching and action learning sets. Designed for post-CCT surgeons, SAS surgeons and early consultants, the programme develops self-awareness, educational project design, strategic influence and team leadership skills that translate directly into service improvement and patient benefit.
Successful applicants will receive experienced surgical coaching, peer networks across specialities, and support to deliver a high-impact educational or quality improvement initiative. Funded places are limited and competitive. To advance your leadership. broaden your professional network, and accelerate your contributions to urology at local and national levels, apply now.
For eligibility, dates and application details, visit the RCSEd Future Leaders Programme here or contact The Urology Foundation for sponsorship guidance.
Early applications encouraged today.
“I can highly recommend this course. I have done quite a bit of leadership training in the past (ex-military) but I found that this course really stretched me. The bespoke evaluations have been very useful. There are various tests which demonstrate our leadership style, and in combination with the workbooks and personal development plans, I really feel I have a far better insight into my strengths and weaknesses. The symbiosis of the course with a leadership project really helps put the theory into practice and gives it a tangible application and output. Given that the content and scope of the project is entirely up to us, we can push ourselves or tread cautiously depending on our own circumstances.
It has also been great connecting with UK-wide surgeons at the same stage of their careers, in a variety of specialties. I have made some close links with colleagues I have met on the course who have really contributed to my project (which is for prostate cancer patients) despite them not having any urological experience. Essentially, I cannot rate it highly enough.”
