SERT Institute Operational Report Jan-Jun 2024

4.3 Facilitate the growth of clinical leadership

Surgical Leadership Series

In 2023, the SERT Institute focused on strengthening medical education, training, and leadership. The aim of the RNSH Surgical Leadership Series is to bring surgeons together as a collective to discuss the expectations, challenges and skills required to foster a positive and supportive surgical culture across DoSA that in turn flows into each sub-specialty service. The initiative led by the SERT Institute leadership team, is being designed by surgeons for surgeons through consultation, collaboration, and feedback. This ensures it is sustainable and tailors the series to the needs and expectations of our surgeons. The Leadership Series is an extension of the new consultant leadership program (FLASH) developed in 2021 - a collaboration between WSLHD and NSLHD. A minimum of four leadership development sessions will be conducted per year with the first two sessions held in 2023 (11 September and 11 December). Two more sessions have been conducted in the first half of 2024 with three more planned for the second half. All sessions are well attended with approximately 25 participants in each. They are professionally facilitated by Dr Renee Lim, Director of Program Development from the Pam McLean Centre. The first session explored leadership models and influences, with the second follow-up session in December exploring how leadership personalities, styles and models influence and shape a team. The next two sessions will focus on conflict resolution and surgical culture before progressing to strategic and service planning.
