#132 Florence Wilcock - A Clinicians Perspective of Management
Today on the podcast I have the pleasure of speaking to Florence Wilcock who works within the NHS as a Consultant Obstetrician at Kingston Hospital, she is also the chair of the London maternity voices working group and hosts the Obs Pod Podcast. I was listening to one of Florences’ episodes called “The Dark Side” which was around the dark side of Management and I wanted to have her as a guest to discuss the difficulties that we all can face. This will be a great episode for those Clinical Directors and Managers supporting Clinical Directors to understand how you can improve your working relationship and performance.
Topics to listen out for;
- How Florence found herself as a Clinical Director
- Saying Yes & No
- Having great support in a PA
- Most proud of and most difficult.
- Managing difficult conversations.
- The importance of knowing how your service runs.
- Negative attitudes about management.
- Don’t be afraid of admitting you have limitations.
