Aims and Objectives

Improvement leadership refers to a leadership approach focused on driving continuous improvement within an organisation, team, or community. This style of leadership aims to foster a culture of growth, learning, and innovation. Improvement leaders aim to empower individuals, align efforts with strategic goals, and create sustainable change. The BSG ‘Project 90 – Management and Leadership Workstream’ wishes to offer ambitious members the opportunity to develop their leadership skills in a speciality focused and supportive environment. The programme’s aim is to develop cohorts of future gastroenterology and hepatology leaders that have the skills and networks to improve services into the future. The programme has been designed in collaboration with our delivery partner AQUA.
