The NHS is paying increasing attention to leadership within clinical teams. Leadership training can be delivered in different ways, for example, to the team leader alone or to all team members. However, it is not clear which approaches work best. Researchers looked at leadership training for surgeons, and asked what makes training effective.
In this podcast, Helen Saul, Editor in Chief of NIHR Evidence, speaks with Amy Grove, Professor of Implementation Science and NIHR Advanced Fellow, University of Warwick; and Peter Hutchinson, Director of Clinical Research, Royal College of Surgeons of England. They discuss key elements of leadership training: feedback, personal characteristics and atmosphere.

Professor Martin Tobin and Dr Catherine John talk to Professor Turi King about the first 10 years of the NIHR Leicester EXCEED Study, from its original aims through to the research questions its data is helping to answer today.

EXCEED (Extended Cohort for E-health, Environment and DNA) is a longitudinal health study that looks at the causes of long-term health conditions by collecting information about genes and lifestyle. More than 11,000 people have already taken part in our research which is leading to discoveries that can improve and save lives.
Based at the University of Leicester, EXCEED is a uniquely valuable resource for health research as it combines genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors to offer researchers a detailed picture of how health is influenced by people's DNA as well as what's happening in their lives and the world around them. www.exceed.org.uk
