The RCSI Hospitals Group Maternity Services Leadership Programme led by Dr Mary Collins, RCSI Institute of Leadership, launched on 4 February in the boardroom of the Rotunda Hospital. This is a multi-disciplinary leadership programme that will run for the next nine months.

The participants are from three maternity sites - Cavan/Monaghan, Our Lady of Lourdes, Drogheda and the Rotunda Hospital. The overall objective of the programme is to build the leadership capacity in the service through an interactive, blended learning approach with input from Executive Sponsors and faculty of the RCSI Institute of Leadership. 

During the course of the programme, participants will work in multi-disciplinary teams on Quality Improvement Projects linked to strategic themes for the maternity services. These projects will be presented at the closing event in the College Hall on 8 September.
