This course is made of three modules which build on each other. It explores what leadership is and how it compares with management, how you can understand yourself as a leader, the notion of leadership styles, and where GP leaders sit within teams, organisations and systems. The course reflects the 2026 update to the RCGP Leadership Capabilities Framework guides and supports our GPs across the four nations in developing their knowledge, skills and capabilities as GP leaders. It falls within the leadership and management curriculum field.

Production, editorial, and distribution owned by the Royal College of General Practitioners.
