Becs Winterborn

There is something that healthcare professionals across the NHS feel but aren’t allowed to say.

I say it for them.

Dr Becs Winterborn - Former NHS Consultant Vascular Surgeon.

Keynote Speaker. Coach. Author in progress.

For 14 years I wore the mask of what a proper NHS consultant should look like.

Then burnout and PTSD broke it open.

What I found underneath changed everything I thought I knew about leadership, identity, and what healthcare could look like if we finally let people lead as themselves.

Now I take that message to stages, organisations, and the senior professionals who are ready to hear it.

The Signature Talk:

Moving from Silence to Sharing: why vulnerability is healthcare's missing medicine

This is not a talk about resilience.

It is not a talk about managing stress or building confidence.

It is a talk about what happens when brilliant, experienced, deeply capable healthcare professionals are finally given permission to speak - and what becomes possible for their teams, their patients, and themselves when they do.

Drawing on 28 years in the NHS, personal experience of work-related PTSD, and the science of authentic leadership, this talk shifts something in the room.

Suitable for:

NHS Trusts and leadership development programmes
Medical and surgical conferences
Corporate healthcare organisations and pharmaceutical companies
Women in medicine and Women in leadership events
