Leadership in healthcare is a shared responsibility that influences research, evaluation, education and clinical practice.

Drawing on frameworks such as CanMEDS, servant leadership and various leadership styles, the session highlights how self-awareness, team dynamics and organisational stewardship drive meaningful change and impact. It also examines how personal leadership can evolve into transformational and strategic leadership, enabling responsiveness and adaptability within an ever-changing healthcare system informed by research and evaluation.
