A Bradford doctor has been selected for a prestigious national leadership programme.
The renowned ‘Academy of Medical Sciences’ Future Leaders in Innovation, Enterprise and Research’ (FLIER) programme develops trailblazers and managers capable of working across academia, industry and the NHS to address major healthcare challenges.
Consultant in Palliative Care, Jamilla Hussain, will represent Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the Bradford Institute for Health Research.
Dr Hussain is one of 19 emerging leaders from a range of sectors across the life sciences chosen to participate in the 18-month, cross-sector learning experience.
The programme equips emerging leaders with a skillset to create novel solutions and challenge the norm of conventional working across boundaries.
Dr Hussain, from Wakefield, said: “The FLIER programme will provide a unique opportunity for me to step back, learn alongside peers from different sectors and think creatively about how I can use my role as a clinical academic to help tackle health inequalities and ensure care improves for the people who most need it.”
Through FLIER, participants will share insights, build lasting networks and develop their innovative ideas through coaching, workshops and collaboration. By learning alongside peers from different sectors, FLIER participants gain new knowledge, skills and connections that they can take back into their own organisations, helping to drive innovation and positive change.
Chief Medical Officer, Dr John Bolton, said: “We are incredibly proud of Jamilla’s selection for the Academy of Medical Sciences’ FLIER programme. It’s a well‑deserved recognition of her talent, leadership and commitment to improving patient care.”
