Abstract

Leadership is a core component of the work of any practising doctor. Good medical leadership is essential to the successful delivery of optimal clinical care, and is associated with better team functioning, improved patient outcomes, and positive cultural change.

Application of leadership has the potential to transform individuals, teams, working practices, and outcomes while improving job satisfaction. Here, we offer an insight into potential leadership opportunities for doctors in training from local to national level, using case studies to illustrate how early career clinicians have built up their leadership skills.
