2.4 Increase surgeon engagement in non-clinical activities
In 2023, individual consultations and a feedback survey identified a local senior leadership training program was needed to support leadership skills development and the complexity of managing a high performing team. This led to the establishment of the RNSH Surgical Leadership Series - a program designed by surgeons for surgeons. Six sessions were conducted in 2023-2024, including a surgeons social in December 2024, These were held afterhours and well attended.
Planning continues for a minimum of 4 sessions per year including a surgeons social in July 2025.
The SERT Institute also conducts an annual survey, inviting surgeons to provide feedback on the SERT Institute activity and make recommendations for the future focus areas. The advisory committee comprising of clinical, education, and research experts and executive leaders provides guidance on strategic direction, governance, performance and future planning. As the executive sponsor for the SERT Institute, the NSLHD Chief Executive (CE) has established regular meetings with the SERT Institute Director and Manager to identify opportunities to keep the executive teams informed of achievements and collaborations across other facilities.
The SERT Institute leadership team also attend Heads of Department, Grand Rounds, data and research meetings.
