Leadership and working in teams

Leadership and working in teams are core aspects of surgical training and practice. They are highlighted in the General Medical Council's ‘General Professional Capabilities’ framework, are included in the Good Surgical Practice guidance published by the Royal College of Surgeons of England and are incorporated in the ‘Non-Technical Skills for Surgeons’ (NOTSS) programme run by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. Persis tent failings, as detailed in a number of public inquiries, including the Bristol cardiac surgery inquiry and the more recent Paterson inquiry, highlight the importance of prioritizing leadership and teamworking in current postgraduate surgical training.
