By RCGP,
The Royal College of General Practitioners has awarded the contract for the running of its prestigious Leadership Programme to a three-strong consortium.
The Consortium comprises:
� Peninsula Medical School Postgraduate Health Institute;
� University of Exeter Centre for Leadership Studies; and
� OD Partnership Network (a network of international and UK health service organisations)
The awarding of the contract follows a keenly contested process, involving 15 high quality bids. Six of the 15 were shortlisted for interview by a panel including
RCGP Honorary Secretary of Council, Maureen Baker; Vice-Chair of Council, Professor Nigel Sparrow, and Dr Helena McKeown, a past delegate of the leadership programme.
Enrolment will start in late Spring 2006 and the programme will combine e-learning, residential weekends and tutorials. It will be overseen by a panel of renowned experts in leadership and primary care.
Professor Steve Field, Chair of the RCGP Education Network, said: �The Consortium is to be congratulated on its excellent bid, particularly as it came through in the face of such high quality opposition.
�It will offer an intellectually challenging programme which is rooted in an exciting vision of the future role of GPs and their potential for leadership in the health service.�
