Our Team Leader Training is one of two leadership courses that we offer. The other is the Medical Coordinator Course which deals with the clinical and technical side of a response, but in certain circumstances both roles may be filled by one person.
The Team Leader plays a crucial role in ensuring that a UK-Med response can be delivered in a safe, effective and efficient way. It’s a demanding position which requires a specific and significant depth of experience in medical provision and humanitarian health programmes.
