Update Tuesday 17th June
Introducing
BAMM's 'Leading Organisations' Network
Professor Jenny Simpson, our CEO, recently devised the 'Leading Organisations' Network as a new way for organisations to work with BAMM in order to help sustain the drive towards clinical leadership while, at the same time, demonstrating the ideals of clinicians and managers working as one.
The 'Leading Organisations' Network provides both Individual and Corporate membership of BAMM in a new and unique way and will bring together all healthcare organisations committed to clinical leadership in the UK. Perhaps the following extract from Jenny’s most recent letter best captures the essence of this initiative:
The idea of the network is to bring together organisations with a passion for clinical leadership, to share best practice and to get an early grip on policy direction and thinking so as to be on the front foot at a local level.
We are arranging the first meeting of the partnership network for the 25th February 2009 at a central venue, and would like to give you early notice of this event. If you have already signed up to LON membership, please reserve this date in your diary for your executive team, clinical leaders - preferably both - to attend. If you have not yet joined the network and are thinking of doing so – now is the time to contact us!
Looking forward to hearing from you and to seeing some of you at this first event in February. We will address some of the key issues facing us in terms of frontline service delivery and commissioning, in the light of upcoming national policy.
With very best wishes.
Yours sincerely
Professor Jenny Simpson OBE
Chief Executive

 Update Tuesday 17th June
Well, I'm back in the office after this years Summer School, and what a success this year was. It just goes to show, all that matters is having the right people taking part; and we really did, great speakers, fantastic workshops and a fine crop of delegates contributing to the thriving and lively atmosphere. For those of you that missed out, don't worry too much, as ever we will be making the presentations available over the website to as many of you as are interested as well as hopefully featuring some comments on the event in the next issue of Clinical Leader Voice.
Speaking of Clinical Leader Voice; This conference saw the launch of Clinical Leader the peer reviewed, academic big brother of CLv and distant relative of BAMM's tradition of high quality publications. The rest of you should be getting your copies in the post any day now. I hope you'll be candid with your thoughts, comments and criticisms. We're very proud of it, but that doesn't mean it's perfect, and you're comments will help us strive for that perfection.
This was also a first year for BAMMbino, the junior doctors group within BAMM, who held their inaugural AGM at the Summer School as well as a very interesting morning of meetings of their own. On the back of this successful event plans are already afoot for an even more substantial involvement at next years Summer School as well as several other events in the much nearer future. The BAMMbino Board also welcomed a new Chair in Dr Emma Stanton (taking over from Dr Mark Simmonds who steps into the role of Chair Emeritus for the next year), and two full time board members in Thomas Foley, and Dr Yasmin Ahmed-Little.
Once again our Summer School held host to the annual Fit to Lead Awards. We were very proud to once again take the opportunity to celebrate the successes of this years class. For a full list of graduates, check out the front page of our sister website www.fittolead.co.uk.
I'd like also to thank our sponsors for helping to add to the generally buzzing atmosphere, particularly in the exhibition and refreshment area. BMJ Careers, MIAD, 360 Clinical, Worthy Associates, NPSA, Doctors.net and Dr Foster all contributed in the own way to the conference's success and we were thrilled to host them for another year. I hope you all got as much out of them as you needed too, if you didn't please get in touch with me and I'll help you contact the appropriate representative.
From sparkling, mesmerising, plenary sessions to unmissable workshops this years BAMM Summer School and AGM achieved success on so many levels. But most rewarding of all, were the overheard words of one delegate as they walked out the doors,
"That was the best event I've ever been to."
Thank you so much to everyone that made this event possible, I really look forward to seeing you again next year, and for many more years to come,
Robin Scott
Communications and Marketing Manager
BAMM
