In the 21st century, the core skills of trainee doctors are evolving as clinicians, leaders and innovators. Leadership skills are an essential tool for all doctors and need to be an integral part of their training and learning as set out in the General Medical Council's Good Medical Practice. It is essential to develop these skills at an early stage and continually improve them. A group of junior doctors participated in a pilot programme for leadership with the aim of executing a quality improvement (QI) project. This article describes our experiences of both the course itself and the project undertaken by our group. As part of the process of implementing change, we faced a number of challenges which contributed to our learning. These have been explored as well as potential ways to overcome them to enable the swift and smooth development of future QI projects. Using an example of a QI project looking at handover, this article demonstrates how a trainee doctor can implement their project for both professional and institutional improvement.
在 21 世纪,实习医生的核心技能正在向临床医生、领导者和创新者转变。领导力技能是所有医生的必备工具,需要将其作为他们培训和学习的一个组成部分,这在英国医学总会的《良好行医规范》中有所规定。在早期阶段发展这些技能并不断提高这些技能至关重要。一群年轻医生参加了领导力试点计划,旨在执行一个质量改进 (QI) 项目。本文描述了我们在课程本身和我们小组承担的项目方面的经验。作为实施变革过程的一部分,我们面临了许多挑战,这些挑战促进了我们的学习。本文探讨了这些挑战以及潜在的克服方法,以促进未来 QI 项目的快速顺利发展。本文通过一个质量改进项目的例子,展示了实习医生如何为专业和机构的改进实施他们的项目。
