Supporting higher Qualities of Leadership Practice

Our Being Leader webinar series, in partnership with the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, continues on 3rd February with the second episode on Qualities of Leadership Practice.

The webinar, open to all healthcare professionals (you can register here), will explore leading people and teams, why communications, relationships and collaboration are foundational, and how well-led teams support improves patient and workforce outcomes.

This second event follows the success of the first webinar in the series available here, when 70 paediatric and non-paediatric professionals joined a Leading with Presence in Times of Change panel discussion, expertly moderated by Dr Megan Peng, Associate Director of Workforce and Professional Development, RCPCH.

Through a very engaging and interactive conversation, Dr Daljit Hothi, Consultant Paediatric Nephrologist at Great Orman Street Hospital and Arran Daly, Senior Facilitator at Talent for Care shared their insights, experiences and perspectives on the “being” of leaders. Feedback from participants has been excellent, with the majority indicating the webinar enabled them to:

• Differentiate between being and doing of leadership – and why both matter

• Recognise how to shift from “accidental”, to intentional, values-based leadership

• Explore ways to ground themselves and others in times of change and uncertainty

• Reflect on their own leadership identity and identify one small shift to enable them to lead with greater presence in the future

The final webinar in the series - Leading Across Boundaries, planned for 13 April, comes hot on the heels of the expected publication of the new NHS Management and Leadership Framework of standards and competencies.

All webinar series topics and how they relate to an evolving NHS will be explored through some further joint initiatives during the RCPCH professional conference in Birmingham, 11-13 May 2026.
