Abstract

A United Kingdom (UK) study of the impact of a critical action learning (CAL) module on the leadership development of Doctors examined the immediate effect of this learning strategy at an individual level (McCray. Palmer & Warwick, 2016). Findings indicated that participants had gained a form of leader enablement in their NHS (National Health Service) setting, underpinned by leader resilience and reflexivity. Aligning with other studies set in the NHS (Blackler & Kennedy, 2004. Pedler & Abbott, 2008. Hicks & Winterburn, 2012), this confirmed a role for CAL (Ram & Trehan, 2010) in Doctor Leader development. What remains of interest is has this learning been sustained? Here in this paper we return to the same NHS research cohort two years on to question: “What learning from the CAL experience has been applied in practice and to what effect?”
