Management and Leadership

In addition to their clinical duties, neurosurgeons are expected to engage with various management and leadership roles. This is particularly important for senior trainees who must demonstrate that they are ready to become consultants. This course will help trainees, and newly appointed consultants, understand the various aspects of management and leadership in neurosurgery. It will provide them with strong foundations to start or strengthen their leadership journey.  

This is a two day course aimed at neurosurgery trainees of all levels. It is particularly suitable for those approaching the end of their neurosurgical training. New consultants are also encouraged to attend. Delegates are required to attend both days either Face to Face for both days or virtually, in order to receive the attendance certificate. 

For the first time, we will be offering the course as a hybrid course, where delegates have the option of attending either face to face or online via MS Teams. 

Delegates will be issued with a certificate of attendance and CPD has been approved from The Society of British Neurological Surgeons.
