We require a flexible health workforce that engages in lifelong learning, is technologically savvy, understands research evidence, and is able to develop different models and systems of care. We are all being challenged to upskill and prepare ourselves to lead the changes required. Health leaders who think differently can learn to thrive in an environment of disruption and create positive change.
