The Lady Wolfson: Advancing women in healthcare leadership summit

While women make up 77% of the NHS workforce, a closer look at leadership roles in the health service reveals significant under-representation.

Despite 44.7% of executive and non-executive roles in the NHS being held by women, this headline figure conceals significant geographical disparities across the country ranging from 15% to 78%. Factors include lack of role models, imposter syndrome, work-life balance and organisational culture.

This conference aims to address the issues surrounding the under-representation of women in healthcare leadership roles and inspire the female leaders of the future.

The programme will explore the barriers women face in developing roles in healthcare leadership and provide the practical support needed to overcome these challenges.

Key speakers will include Dame Jane Dacre, Professor of Medical Education at UCL and Dr Tamzin Cuming, Consultant Colorectal Surgeon and Chair of the Women in Surgery Forum at the Royal College of Surgeons. Panel discussions will feature guests Dr Simon Fleming, trauma and orthopaedic trainee, and Miss Rebecca Fisher, IST trainee. Round-table discussions will be led by Dame Professor Parveen Kumar, Dame Carol Black, Professor Henrietta Bowden-Jones and many more.

Attendees will gain:

• To explore the preventable gender-related barriers within healthcare that impede women from obtaining leadership roles
• To provide an understanding of how to address the causes of under-representation
• To share the practical tools and support women need to further their leadership ambitions and career goals

A CPD certificate with 6 CPD credits will be issued to those joining the webinar live as well as those who watch the recording afterwards. Certificates will be issued 7 days after the webinar to those who watch it live and after 30 days for those that watch the recording.
