Ethical Leadership with Prof. Lindy McAllister - 4th & 11th November 2025

Ethical Leadership with Prof. Lindy McAllister - 4th & 11th November 2025

We are delighted to welcome Prof. Lindy McAllister to facilitate a workshop on Ethical Leadership. The workshop uses scenarios to apply knowledge and develop skills in ethical reasoning and ethical leadership.

Rationale:

The IASLT Professional Standards Standing Committee recognise an ongoing need for training in Ethical Leadership. Lindy has provided training in this area in the past for IASLT and has been well received. 

Part 1 introduces participants to the language of ethics used in the health professions, covering values, duties, approaches to ethics including bio-medical principles of ethics, and ethical reasoning. Participants will have the opportunity to apply the language of ethics in ethical reasoning with relatively straightforward ethical
scenarios.

Part 2 focuses on ethical leadership for health professionals of all levels of experience. It introduces participants to concepts of and frameworks for ethical leadership. Complex, contemporary workplace-based scenarios are used to encourage participants to apply the concepts and frameworks of ethical leadership, (and the language of ethics covered in part 1), to consider how ethical leadership might be demonstrated in different situations.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of the workshop participants will be able to:

  • Understand the values, duties and principles of ethics;
  • Apply this language of ethics to ethical reasoning with relatively straightforward scenarios;
  • Understand concepts and frameworks of ethical leadership;
  • Apply the language of ethics and concepts and frameworks of ethical leadership to complex workplace-based scenarios to discuss how ethical leadership could be demonstrated and role modelled.
