4.2 Adopt a clear and transparent framework to determine surgical training pathways across the Northern Campus A surgical learning pathway from medical student to senior consultant will be developed to identify learning requirements at each stage including NSW Health mandatory and local LHD learning requirements.
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. A further four sessions were conducted in 2024. All sessions are well attended with approximately 25 participants in each. They were professionally facilitated by Dr Renee Lim, Director of Program Development from the Pam McLean Centre. Themes explored include: leadership models and influences, leadership personalities, styles, conflict resolution, surgical culture and the role, responsibilities and expectations of surgical consultants.
Based on the feedback survey in 2024, a surgeons social gathering event was held on 2 December 2024.
