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.

This comprehensive course examines all facets of effective direction, providing you with all the knowledge, skills and practical approaches to ensure you gain the greatest possible performance and achievement from your clinical team.

Quite naturally, clinical & service leaders tend to focus on clinical quality, evolution and innovation.

This intensive, one-day programme comprehensively covers strategic service leadership, enabling leaders to balance priorities effectively, whilst strategically guiding and evolving services so that they may seize opportunities and mitigate threats.

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.

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.

2 days of innovative thinking, new perspectives and vital solutions designed to enable services to break free from inertia, overcome their greatest challenges and seize the future (first).
