Scottish Clinical Leadership Fellows 10 Year Celebration

The Scottish Clinical Leadership Fellowship (SCLF) celebrated its 10th Anniversary with an event at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh on the 31st of May. The day was attended by over 120 delegates, including past and current fellows, host organisations, and senior healthcare leaders from across Scotland. In addition to recognising the achievements of the fellowship so far, the programme aimed to inspire the next generation of healthcare leaders.

A huge thank you to all who attended the day, which included presentations from Chief Medical Officer Sir Gregor Smith, Chair of the GMC Dame Carrie MacEwen, NES CEO Prof Karen Reid, Chair Mr David Garbutt, and Medical Director Prof Emma Watson. Members of the growing SCLF alumni shared insights on the impact the fellowship has had on their career and the healthcare environments. Delegates enjoyed the chance to re-connect with colleagues, and to network with other leaders throughout the day. Feedback from group breakout sessions will be used to continue maximising the success of the fellowship as it enters its second decade.

SCLF cohort 13 will commence on the 3rd of August, with applications for the 2024 intake opening in November 2023. Full details on the programme can be found at SCLF Deanery Website.
