The Medical Director's Leadership Fellow (MDLF) is a unique opportunity for a junior doctor (ST3+ or equivalent) to be able to learn and develop leadership skills by working alongside the senior leadership team at RMCH. The role is 80% non-clinical which allows plenty of time and opportunity to identify, initiate and follow through projects. For the first few weeks/months you will be able to observe the Medical Director in their role to gain an understanding of how the hospital systems work and how to initiate and maintain change within the NHS. Based on your own ideas or seeing projects that interest you there will the opportunity to get involved in something that suits your interests and background. No previous leadership experience is required as this is a developmental role.
