Modern, Practical Leadership Training

In medicine, a failure to spot and act on the critical issues has always been associated with a higher mortality. That’s no less true when it comes to commissioning too. Few Trusts and Services really understand the emerging commissioning system and how it will behave. This leaves them in a position of considerable vulnerability.

Gain knowledge, skills and insight into effective leadership and management, allowing you to become an effective clinical leader. This powerful course is designed to provide a significant foundation whilst recognising your career stage. Giving insight into the Medical Leadership Competency Framework, jointly developed by The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges and the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement, it also provides you with clear guidance on how to go about developing those competencies throughout your progression.

The healthcare landscape is evolving at a pace that few can keep up with, or even appreciate. The raft of changes creeping in represent both tremendous risks and opportunities for the frontline teams taking the trouble to understand their current and evolving environment. This one day programme strips the rhetoric away from the harsh reality of modern healthcare and provides an insight into the drivers of change, likely political manoeuvres and what this really means for secondary/tertiary Trusts and the clinical teams within.

All SpR-level staff are expected to demonstrate a commitment to developing their potential as healthcare leaders. Effective leadership is an essential factor in the successful delivery of healthcare and also a key differentiator for those seeking consultant posts. This course investigates the key leadership issues in both a practical and theoretical sense. Designed to deliver measurable benefits in leading and motivating the staff around you, as well as providing the building blocks to develop as an exceptional healthcare leader.

Project Leadership Skills are one of the critical elements of a successful manager or leader. So much of our time is devoted to achieving projects, changes or initiatives and yet few have ever had any training in how to do this. It's not surprising that so many projects fail to hit deadlines or realise the benefits intended. This focused but comprehensive course shows you how to get projects right from the start, plan them expertly, manage risk and confounding factors and ensure they produce what they are supposed to.
