Our work in the National Health Service includes designing and delivering a number of successful courses, including
‘Strategic Leadership for DMEs and Heads of Schools’ (CPD points applied for)
Outcomes: On this one day programme Directors of Medical Education and Heads of Schools are able to explore and clarify their complementary educational roles as leaders. They start to distinguish between their strategic and operational roles, resolving conflicts of interests and clarifying their individual responsibilities. From this they are able to develop a more co-ordinated and integrated approach to clinical leadership in their education and training roles.

Here is some more feedback about our courses, again quoted with permission:

“Good, insightful, useful, enjoyable.”

‘Leadership for Educational Supervisors’ (this course attracts 6 CPD points)
Outcomes: This one day course will support doctors and dentists in these crucial Supervisory roles to make a significant difference to the front line of clinical training. They will explore and define what good leadership looks like in a clinical setting based upon their own experiences and an understanding of Action Centred Leadership and the NHS Leadership Framework. They will be able to describe more clearly the qualities that good clinical leadership requires of trainees. They will practise giving skillful, constructive and timely feedback to help trainees gain insight into the sensitive, sometimes difficult areas they will need to address to improve their leadership. The course helps to make dry leadership theory more concrete, practical and applicable in a clinical setting, and the language and focus of Action Centred Leadership provides the basis for a more consistent approach and deeper understanding of leadership. This course has been awarded 6 CPD Points by the RCP and participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance acknowledging their CPD in Leadership.

Outcomes: Leading clinical teams is one of the lynch pins of successful NHS service delivery. This one day course develops the leadership skills of training grade and SAS doctors and dentists who have team leadership responsibility, with the primary objective of improving patient care and outcomes through better team leadership.

Team Leadership Skills for Registrars (New for 2013)
Aim: To develop trainees leadership skills quickly, so that they are able to drive better patient care, better clinical outcomes, service improvements and efficiency savings.
Outcomes: This two day course will provide your trainee doctors with a thorough grounding in the relevant parts of the NHS Leadership Framework and the skills to be an effective clinical leader – what to do; how to do it; why it works. They will also develop their awareness of team working: how to create an effective team; how to improve team service delivery; how team cultures work. They will then learn how to apply Action Centred Leadership in a clinical team context: what to notice; how to respond; how to improve effectiveness. All of this will enable them to drive high quality patient care, deliver better clinical outcomes through the care team. We’ll use Reflective Templates, Action Plans and Evaluation Forms to provide you with an Evaluation Report giving evidence of reaction, added value, learning and application in a clinical setting.
‘Operational Leadership for Consultants’ (NEW for 2013)
Aim: To explore the NHS Leadership Competency Framework and how it applies, in the context of Operational and Team Action Centred Leadership, to doctors and dentists going about their everyday clinical and leadership responsibilities.
We also offer courses for Educational Supervisors, and Appraiser Training, through our association with Edgecumbe Health.
For all of our courses we provide Certificates of Attendance, and Reflective Templates to support ongoing learning and development, both of which provide CPD supporting information for appraisal and re-validation purposes.
