Effective Time Management Skills for Doctors

Being able to effectively manage your time and workload is essential for dealing with the pressure and stress of working as a doctor. Not only can organising your time efficiently result in greater job satisfaction but it can improve your personal effectiveness during your daily practice.

 

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. The programme looks at how, in a practical way, you can utilise your time in a more productive and effective manner to improve your skills and abilities. Furthermore, after the course you are encouraged via an action plan to introduce the skills and techniques you have learned into your daily practice.

 

 

The course is not only CPD accredited (worth 6 CPD points) but 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 deliver the following aims and objectives:

 

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

·         Take away practical skills in prioritisation using tried and tested methodology

·         Have the ability to delegate in a professional manner using a process which has proven success

·         How to be assertive in what you do and recognise aggression and passivity in yourself and others

·         Identify what you procrastinate about, and more importantly, why? Then how to deal with those tasks through techniques learned

·         Determine your work/lifestyle behaviours and find a balance between them to give you more freedom and life enjoyment

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

 

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!
