Course format
This programme has been developed collaboratively between the RCOG and the Keele Clinical Leadership Academy, located in Postgraduate Medicine at Keele University.
We are committed to running the Developing Leadership course in June 2021 however in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and given the uncertainty around the impact of social distancing measures on events in the future, a decision around whether this course will be run virtually will be decided in early 2021 and we will contact all participants with further information.
