Conversely, men encounter limitations due to restrictive paternity leave policies, often receiving undue praise for basic parenting duties. Through the lens of the Chief Pharmaceutical Officer's clinical fellows 2023/24, we explore the question: 'Can you have it all?'Methods: We explore stereotypical gender norms alongside the challenges and expectations faced by individuals of all genders on their leadership journeys. Through personal reflections, literature review and informal conversations with senior leaders, we explore how societal expectations and gendered norms shape the professional and personal lives of women in leadership roles.Results: Commitment to reflection provides opportunities to pause and assess our journeys. Peer support networks are invaluable for professional development, helping to break down barriers and hierarchies. Coaching and mentoring offer significant support and guidance to aspiring leaders from underrepresented backgrounds providing new perspectives.Conclusion: Balancing leadership and family responsibilities is challenging but achievable with the right support systems and a shift in workplace culture. However, we recognise, through all of this, self-care and prioritisation of mental well-being must be at the forefront to sustain a healthy balance. As clinical fellows, we have had the unique opportunity to share the complexities faced in the workplace. Through collective effort, we aim to foster environments that empower individuals on their leadership journeys, illustrating that, with the right support and conditions, it is possible to truly 'have it all'.","PeriodicalId":36677,"journal":{"name":"BMJ Leader","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142509739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, prevailing approaches often prioritise specific research projects over explicit strategies for strengthening the capacities of health research professionals (HRPs) particularly in low and middle-income countries. Despite recognition of its limitations, this implicit approach persists resulting in a lack of effective HRCD strategies. Additionally, the absence of globally standardised mechanisms for evaluating HRCD initiatives makes it more complex to define clear success benchmarks for these initiatives. Evaluations of HRCD strategies predominantly focus on pre-intervention and post-intervention assessments of specific interventions often neglecting the broader context of capacity development. Consequently, there is an imperative for a more systematic approach to measuring HRCD, particularly at the individual level.This paper describes the design and the scope of the Professional Development Scheme (PDS), a tool designed to quantify HRCD among HRPs. Structured across four core sections including professional experiences, qualifications and the self-evaluation of 325 key competencies, the PDS allows users to generate evidence of existing strengths and possible areas of improvement in their research skills. Profile submissions undergo rigorous moderation to ensure fidelity and uniformity in competency evaluation.The PDS can offer a structured approach to assessing and improving research capacities among HRPs. By focusing on specific skills and employing clear evaluation methods, the PDS aims to overcome the shortcomings of previous approaches and promote development in global health research capacity.","PeriodicalId":36677,"journal":{"name":"BMJ Leader","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142355679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of the home-based care educational programme was to improve the caregivers' knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to perform the caregiving tasks with reduced physical strain.Methods: The educational programme model comprises the knowledge and skills necessary to carry out the caretaking responsibilities of older people, especially those with limited activities. It was conducted as an interventional study recruiting two groups (n=72) as intervention (n=36) and control group (n=36), and the knowledge of the caregivers was evaluated. The teaching sessions were planned considering the adult educational learning theories and guided by a developed educational handbook.Results: The pre and post mean±SD knowledge scores of the intervention group (43.78±12.41; 89.78±5.61) showed a significant difference (p<0.001), whereas the pre and post knowledge mean±SD scores of the control group (50.69±17.90; 51.43±17.79) showed no significant improvement (p>0.05). The difference between the pre-test and post-test between the two groups was significant (p<0.0001).Conclusions: At the end of the educational programme, participants valued the opportunity that they received, and the assessment of knowledge before and after the programme showed an improvement in caregivers' knowledge. The study suggests conducting home-based or community-based health education programmes for caregivers of older people with limited activities, with the involvement of responsible healthcare professionals and leaders.","PeriodicalId":36677,"journal":{"name":"BMJ Leader","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142355678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inclusion means the act of including or being included in a group, which creates a sense of belonging as well as empowers individuals to contribute in an authentic and meaningful manner. Inclusive leadership is important in the health professions and health professions education so that health professionals and faculty in health professions education are able to contribute to their work in ways that they find meaningful. WHAT DO LEADERS NEED TO DO TO BE INCLUSIVE?: To be inclusive leaders need to to do the following: truly believe in inclusion, define the boundaries of acceptable behaviours, make difficult diversity conversations possible, build authentic diverse relationships, develop shared leadership, drive and role model inclusive practices in the organisation, and find the right balance between individual and institutional EDI initiatives. Driving inclusion in a health professions (education) organisation demands changes in the concept of leadership, as well as the organisational policy and culture.","PeriodicalId":36677,"journal":{"name":"BMJ Leader","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139106766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the criteria associated with being promoted in a Singaporean AMC.Methods: Using a dataset of 255 candidates for promotion at the studied AMC, we employ logistic regression to determine if these factors are associated with the likelihood of promotion. Further, we use interaction effects to test if the relationship between the H-index and likelihood of promotion differs across the academic levels of the candidates.Results: The logistic regression results based on the best of our three tested models suggest that the H-index is positively associated with promotion for those applying to become clinical associate professors (OR=1.43, p=0.01). Moreover, candidates who provide well-developed education portfolios (OR=3.61, p=0.02) and who have held service/leadership roles (OR=6.72, p<0.001) are more likely to be promoted.Conclusions: This study affirms the correlation between promotion and the advancement criteria outlined by the AMC. This is important for transparency and trust between the AMC and its faculty in their applications for promotion and success in an academic career.
