In this podcast, Helen Saul, Editor in Chief of NIHR Evidence, speaks with Sarah Rogers, Professor of Health Informatics at the University of Liverpool about the impact of green space on our mental health and her study aiming to tease out the impact of green and blue spaces alone, regardless of wealth or other factors.

The NHS is paying increasing attention to leadership within clinical teams. Leadership training can be delivered in different ways, for example, to the team leader alone or to all team members. However, it is not clear which approaches work best. Researchers looked at leadership training for surgeons, and asked what makes training effective. In this podcast, Helen Saul, Editor in Chief of NIHR Evidence, speaks with Amy Grove, Professor of Implementation Science and NIHR Advanced Fellow, University of Warwick; and Peter Hutchinson, Director of Clinical Research, Royal College of Surgeons of England. They discuss key elements of leadership training: feedback, personal characteristics and atmosphere. Read a full transcript of the episode here .
