Lunch Hour Lecture | Medical leadership and gender disparities in England and India

Physicians’ engagement has long been regarded as a critical component for effective performance in healthcare organisations. The World Health Organization highlights that low- and middle-income countries such as India must increase coverage of priority health services to accomplish health-related sustainable development goals. While the majority of hospital CEOs in India are physicians, the opposite is the case in the UK and in both countries MD MBA graduates are rare. In the National Health Service, there are increasing efforts to involve physicians in senior management teams and to encourage flexible and portfolio working. Our research project findings provide valuable insights into inequalities, (quiet) quitting, and medical career crafting to understand medical leadership development and engaging physicians in institutional decision-making to improve clinical outcomes.
