Independence
Dedici facilitators must be wholly independent of organisational, educational, and regulatory structures. This includes avoiding any actual, perceived, or potential conflicts of interest arising from holding roles that both commission education and deliver it. For example, Doctors employed within the NHS, particularly those in medical education or leadership roles (such as DMEs/SAS Tutors/TPSs) can be placed in positions where influence, authority, or dual accountability is unavoidable.
Independence ensures psychological safety for participants, absolute clarity about whose interests the facilitator represents, and confidence that discussions cannot influence commissioning decisions, assessment, appraisal, or professional progression.
Impact
Our work depends on the highest standard of professional facilitation. Dedici facilitators are specialists in facilitation, not subject‑matter insiders facilitating alongside another primary role.
This enables deeper learning, stronger challenge, and more sustained behaviour change. Keeping facilitation clearly separate from teaching, assessment, or professional authority protects the quality and impact of the learning experience.
Insight
Dedici intentionally brings credible external insight. Facilitators who operate outside NHS hierarchies and professional silos can offer perspectives that insiders often cannot; questioning assumptions, broadening thinking, and creating space for fresh approaches.
This external viewpoint strengthens trust, supports honest reflection, and helps individuals and teams see beyond the limits of the system they work within.
