The Doctor as Medical Manager
Jointly developed by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges and the NHS Institute
for Innovation and Improvement, the Medical Leadership Competency Framework
(MLCF) has been implemented within the NHS to help doctors become more actively
involved in the planning, delivery and improvement of health services. Consequently,
it has become of the utmost importance that doctors strive to improve their
medical leadership and management abilities and thus improve their level of
practice.
Our Leadership and Management Course for Senior Doctors is
ideally suited for ST4 doctors and above. This deeply interactive three-day CPD
accredited course (18 CPD points) demonstrates that leading and managing
effectively at a senior level within the NHS is essential as your career
progresses and this necessitates the development of practical and applicable
leadership skills, some of which may be a departure from traditional methods.
Working in small groups for maximum benefit, our course details how you can
successfully develop as a medical leader and manager within the framework of
the NHS, as well as exploring other leadership and management views and
techniques from other professional organisations.
Delivered jointly by NHS consultants and
professional leadership experts, our course will enable you to:
·
Understand the principles of
advanced leadership and management approaches
·
Explore various leadership models
within a healthcare setting
·
Gain insight into the NHS
hierarchy and current management and political issues
·
Learn how to lead and
motivate a multidisciplinary healthcare team
·
Increase your confidence of being
able to lead within a clinical setting
·
Give and receive feedback in
an effective manner
At the end of the course each delegate will also be
able to:
·
Keep a record of their learning
experiences so that learning points can be reflected upon and referred to after
the course
·
Have the opportunity to prepare a
detailed Action Plan which sets SMART objectives, activities with timescales,
together with the Record of Learning and Action Plan, a method of incorporating
what you have learnt into your everyday practice
