Our Vision

                                             In the achievements of our scholars,
                                             we see not only the culmination of
                                             years of their hard work but also
                                             a unique piece of the mosaic they
                                             form within the next generation
                                             of healthcare leaders across our
                                             nation. Together, scholars in The
                                             Bristol HLA embody an NHS that
                                             finds unity in its diversity and aspires
                                             to pioneer the breakthroughs of
                                             tomorrow. We hope that the network
                                             of connections they foster during
                                             their time in The Bristol HLA will
                                             enrich and inspire their future work.

                                             Our future

                                             The growth of our organisation
                                             creates a community that can
                                             celebrate many successes and talents
                                             of our members. While leadership
                                             roles can often feel isolating,
                                             through The Bristol HLA, we hope

                                             have hosted two full HLA cohorts in
                                             Bristol. We have enjoyed an exciting
                                             programme of events covering a full
                                             range of practical and theoretical
                                             concepts in leadership. Our year
                                             started with talks and practical
                                             sessions led by experts from the
                                             media, the BMA and the GMC, and
                                             concluded with discussions from BBC
                                             broadcasters and past HLA scholars.

                                             We have been fortunate to have a
                                             cohort consisting of scholars from
                                             every walk of life and every stage
                                             of training. Amongst this variety
                                             of backgrounds and careers, we
                                             have drawn strength from our
                                             spirit of common purpose.

Over the last year, we introduced
                       a new campaigns module that ran
                       parallel to the scholars’ leadership

Campaigns Module
                       projects. Scholars planned, executed
                       and evaluated a campaign. They
                       worked in small groups within their
                       cohorts or as individuals, with the
                       impact of the campaign measured
                       with established metrics. Scholars
                       discussed and reflected on their
                       campaign with their mentors and
    Lead: Jingy Alom   fellow cohort. The campaigns
                       were assessed by reviewing the
                       campaign's GANTT chart, a 300-
                       word report and a video-summary.

                       Due to the success of this module
                       this year, we will run it again for
                       the next year, and develop it further
                       based on scholars’ feedback.

Our partnership with Medics.
               Academy has always allowed us to
               deliver pre-recorded online content
               to scholars ahead of their contact
               days. This mechanism works well
               to allow the communication of
               fundamental theory and learning
               points before the group sessions. As
               scholars undertake this preparatory
               work before attending, the group
               sessions can then be focussed more
               on interactive tasks and workshops.

HLA Response
               Given the extraordinary challenges
               posed by the COVID-19 pandemic,
               The HLA adapted its approach to
               content delivery during this time. With

to COVID-19
               support from our partners at Medics.
               Academy, we have expanded our use
               of online technologies to deliver live
               virtual ‘face-to-face’ sessions for our
               2019-20 scholars. While maintaining
               our strict attendance policy, we
               acknowledged that many healthcare
               workers found their pre-approved
               study leave was cancelled. Therefore,
               we adapted our approach to allow
               scholars to attend the sessions run by
               a different cohort to their normal one.

               Additionally, our conference planning
               team for The HLA Summit managed
               to re-design and re-organise the entire
               event to be delivered online. Inspired
               by their successful transition to
               online platforms, we partnered with
               other names in Medical Education to
               provide the MEDCOVID Conference.

                                                  on 6th June 2020, provided an
                                                  opportunity to share and learn from

                                                  organise a fantastic conference with
                                                  many high-profile speakers, with a

Partnership with:

                    The HLA and Medics.Academy
                    have continued to develop the
                    partnership that allowed The HLA
                    to upscale our operation across
                    the UK and to plan expansion
                    into Europe. Medics.Academy
                    continues to support The HLA with
                    significant resources including staff
                    support, IT infrastructure and other
                    resources. The monetary value of

                    Academy over the last 12 months
                    has exceeded £100,000. This
                    ongoing support has been vital
                    to ensure The HLA can establish
                    a globally recognised brand
                    and reputation for innovation in
                    education and training in our area.

                    Medics.Academy continues
                    to develop significant scaled
                    programmes in leadership for HLA.
                    The HLA is benefitting from this
                    by establishing multiple long term
                    funding streams that allow us to
                    grow our work. The scaled education
                    programmes also achieve our primary
                    objective as an organisation.

Future Plans
               Over the year, we have built up         Medics.Academy that is genuinely
               our infrastructure, processes and       leveraging technology to deliver
               support mechanisms. Our plans           globally scalable soft skill education
               for the coming few years include        and training in healthcare leadership.
               increasing the programmes we
               offer, consolidate our processes and
               structures and scale the proposition
               to a growing audience of clinicians
               across the globe. Our aim, having
               achieved financial stability, is to
               invest growth and the priorities for
               our community. We have identified
               several opportunities for innovation
               that can immediately benefit and
               fulfil our aims and the community of
               extraordinary clinicians that we have
               been fortunate to grow and nurture.
