Welcome to Teamwork & Collaboration (Team)
Welcome to this course
A real, documented finding from the GMC’s own national training survey: junior doctors in their first foundation year are considerably more likely to raise a concern than those eight years into specialty training. Not because problems disappear with seniority, but because something about staying silent starts to feel safer the longer you’re in the system.
This course covers teamwork and collaboration, grounded in that real data, the regulator’s own cited definition of bullying, and what genuinely protects you when you do decide to speak up, not a generic “be a team player” summary.
- Explain why teamwork is treated as a real professional standard, not a soft skill
- Recognise bullying and undermining using the regulator’s own definition
- Understand why concerns become harder to raise with seniority, and what that means for you
- Apply a genuine, practical approach to raising a concern safely within a team
Who this is for
Any regulated health or social care professional who works within a team. This is a genuinely common course, the underlying standard is consistent across GMC, NMC, GDC, HCPC, GPhC, and Social Work England.
This course explains the general standard on teamwork and raising concerns. It is not legal advice. If you’re facing a live concern involving bullying, undermining, or retaliation, contact your defence organisation, union, or indemnity provider immediately.
