They set out to become the Standard setting body for medical educators in the UK. In 2009, they achieved this aim with the publication of the Professional Standards that define the level of competence that medical educators should achieve at each point in their careers.

Here you will find answers to the questions that are asked most about the recognition of Clinical and Educational Supervisors.

Health Education North West has developed tools to help you focus and reflect on your leadership skills. The following leadership development tools were originally designed for use by trainees on the Medical Leadership Fellowship programme, but have since been developed for use by all trainees, GPs, Consultants, SASG and other post CCT doctors. If you are a trainee, you can use the tools and attach to your portfolio. Similarly, GPs, Consultants and other post CCT doctors can attach the tools to your revalidation portfolio.

The Medical Leadership Competency Framework (MLCF) was jointly developed by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges and the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement in conjunction with a wide range of stakeholders.

The MLCF describes the leadership competences that doctors need to become more actively involved in the planning, delivery and transformation of health services.

In January 2015 HENW reviewed the major Royal College Curriculla for Medical Leadership content.
