In part one of our ongoing investigation of Ethical Leadership with Aya Musbahi and Salman Ahmed, listeners were invited to consider the concept of “ethical leadership,” as well as how this can be applied to surgeons in the modern health service. This second episode discusses the issue of efficiency in the context of healthcare, and how questions of efficiency and service delivery often become issues of ethics and leadership. The episode is structured in two segments, with the first featuring Aya and Salman discussing the realtionship between equity and efficiency in the context of issues such as employee performance; while in the second segment, Aya and Salman invite Kevin Magee, Chief Executive of Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for a conversation on how health organisations can become ethically led, given current pressures such as resource scarcity and increasing wait times for operations. Opinions expressed in this podcast are the speakers' own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
