1.1 Demonstrating Personal Qualities - Developing Self Awareness

Doctors show leadership through developing self awareness: being aware of their own values, principles and assumptions and by being able to learn from experiences.

Competent doctors:

  • Recognise and articulate their own values and principles, understanding how these may differ from those of other individuals and groups
  • Identify their own strengths and limitations, the impact of their behaviour on others, and the effect of stress on their behaviour
  • Identify their own emotions and prejudices and understand how these can affect their judgement and behaviour
  • Obtain, analyse and act on feedback from a variety of sources.

For more information on how these competences are applied, please click on Undergraduate, Postgraduate or Continuing Practice.
