Guest Blog – Mindfulness and Leadership with Andrew McNeill

What is Mindfulness? One description of mindfulness is the ability to bring your attention to something in a certain way. I discovered mindfulness when I was under stress. A friend suggested a mindfulness retreat might help. I was extremely sceptical, but sufficiently stuck to park my cynicism. What I [...]
Global leadership in 2019: why one-size does not fit all
If you currently manage, lead or work with a multi-cultural group of people with different beliefs, values and customs – this blog is for you! In an earlier article we discussed why there is no ‘correct’ leadership style for success and outlined how leaders who play to their strengths are more likely to be seen as effective.

Our Specialist Health Sector Services
Edgecumbe Health specialises in creating sustained performance improvement for individual doctors, clinical teams and senior levels of healthcare management.
Edgecumbe Doctor 360 was the first multisource feedback instrument for doctors, and it is still leading the way. Its superior measurement properties mean doctors need fewer responses from colleagues and patients to produce a valid assessment, saving valuable clinician time. In addition, the resulting data is ‘cleaner’ than that from the standard GMC questionnaire which most providers offer, enabling insights from the data which simply cannot be achieved from ‘noisier’ data. We can offer the GMC tool, but the 50 NHS Trusts we currently support have all opted for the Edgecumbe Doctor 360.
