The induction provided ADEPT Fellows with preparation and guidance for their year and ahead, and included informative and insightful presentations from stakeholders such as the Health and Social Care Quality Improvement (HSCQI) Northern Ireland, Public Health Agency NI, The General Medical Council and the Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management.
Dr Ian Steele, Postgraduate Dean and Director of Education NIMDTA said,
“I am very pleased to welcome the new cohort of ADEPT Fellows and induct them into the start of their projects and the leadership programme. This years’ application process was very competitive and NIMDTA is delighted that the ADEPT Fellow appointments will be involved in a range of initiatives across NI. I am confident that the ADEPT Fellows will thrive in the Programme and be able to develop personally and professionally over the year and I look forward to hearing about the projects as they develop and ultimately the outcomes that each project will deliver.”

The GMC completes a series of outreach work throughout the year in NI to help continually improve medical education and practice, and improve understanding of our guidance. Todays induction has provided an additional opportunity for me to advise directly how GMC processes work, promote our standards and how these play a part within all project work undertaken throughout the ADEPT Programme year. I wish all the ADEPT Fellows the very best for the year ahead and congratulations on their appointment to the programme.”
