Ethics approval and consent to participate
: In accordance with guidelines from the University of Cambridge, we discussed the ethical implications of our project with the senior doctor responsible for the delivery of the leadership and management curriculum at the School of Clinical Medicine. This individual is also a member of the University’s Research Ethics Committee (REC). We were advised that this project constituted an educational evaluation, lay outside of the scope of the local REC and did not require formal ethical approval.The teaching course was advertised to participants through their course administrators. Students attended teaching workshops voluntarily, during which they were asked to complete an electronic questionnaire. This asked for consent for their anonymised, aggregated data to be used in an evaluation.
: Consent for the publication of anonymised, aggregated data from the evaluation was obtained from all students via electronic questionnaires. Consent was withheld by one student whose data has been removed from the analysis.
: none declared.
