Case Study: Northern Cancer Alliance (NCA) – Leadership Bite Size Masterclasses

Real impact is measured in changed behaviour, not just positive feedback.

The Northern Cancer Alliance MDT leadership programme delivered more than knowledge — it created critical moments of insight that shifted how participants lead, communicate and collaborate. As illustrated above, clinicians described increased confidence, stronger credibility as change agents, and greater capability to manage conflict, chair meetings effectively and have difficult conversations.

These “critical change moments” translated into tangible action: clearer preparation for MDT meetings, improved emotional regulation, better engagement across disciplines and more inclusive decision-making. For MDTs operating under sustained pressure, these behavioural shifts are central to improving effectiveness, team climate and patient-centred outcomes.

Turning Potential into Performance: A Measurable Investment in MDT Leadership

Turning Potential into Performance: A Measurable Investment in MDT Leadership

Turning potential into performance requires more than process change.

While MDTs remain the gold standard for cancer care, growing pressure on time, capacity and complexity means leadership capability is now critical to how effectively they function. Our white paper explores the gap between national guidance and operational reality — and the behavioural, cultural and leadership factors that often limit MDT performance.

The 360° MDT Programme focuses on developing confident, skilled leaders who can chair effectively, apply systems thinking, manage challenge constructively and embed Standards of Care. As illustrated above, the programme blends practical tools, reflective learning and real-world application to drive measurable improvements in MDT effectiveness, team climate and patient pathways.

The Power of Allyship: Building Inclusive Leadership and Career Growth

In modern workplaces, allyship is crucial for fostering inclusion and supporting the career growth of individuals from marginalised backgrounds. Real allyship goes beyond symbolic gestures; it involves taking deliberate actions that create real opportunities for others. Through my own experiences, I’ve seen both the presence and absence of allyship, and I believe it is key to unlocking the potential of diverse teams and finding hidden gems in plain sight.
