Effective Time Management Skills for Doctors
Our innovative course, “Time & Task
Management and Assertiveness Skills”, is of a highly participative nature and
has been designed to introduce doctors, at all levels, to the principles of
effective NHS time management within a healthcare setting.
The programme looks at how, in a
practical way, you can become more personally effective and encourages you via
an action plan, to introduce the skills and techniques learned and put them
into daily, practical use.
Doctors of any grade will benefit from
the practical nature of the programme. The course is CPD accredited (worth 6 CPD points) and also meets the criteria of the
Medical Leadership Competency Framework which encourages doctors to make more effective use of their time.
Once you arrive for the course, the comprehensive programme will

goals in a professional and personal setting will make you more effective

Take away practical
skills in prioritisation using tried and tested methodology

what you do and recognise aggression and passivity in yourself and others
·
Identify what you

You will be helped and
encouraged to develop your own personal action plan to use the learned

Time Management for doctors is not just
about getting to a meeting on time; it has to become a way of life – a habit.
It is a distillation of practical tips and techniques that are core to the
success of being an organised doctor and you don’t want to miss it!
