The current challenges facing the NHS (and indeed many other Health Service Providers worldwide) are clear: demand and expectations are increasing at a time when funding is getting ever more difficult to obtain; the service is now having to play catch up after 2 years of Covid-19; a huge swathe of experienced doctors are on the verge of retiring and new intake is unlikely to keep pace with vacancies, particularly in rural areas. It's not a particularly rosy picture.
It's at times like this that leadership is most important. Developing leaders to rise to the challenge and find ways of moving forwards, despite what seems to be a bleak picture, is key. Where there is no vision, the people perish. Where people are weighed down by ever-increasing bureaucracy, they flounder. It takes an excellent leader to keep people focussed on how they can make a positive difference, how they can challenge what doesn't make sense and ultimately leave a legacy for future generations whilst still providing for those in need right now.
Our award winning Clinical and Medical Leadership Programme can be tailored to specific requirements. Here's an example format that works well for many of our clients:
We provide the Leadership, Quality Improvement, Coaching, Supervising and Mentoring elements of the Fellowship Programme in several regions, with an innovative approach that makes leadership development accessible to busy new GPs all working different schedules.
Please contact us for more details.
The main focus of the programme is on developing the participants as leaders. It’s not about
management, or the typical day-to-day practices which go with managing and keeping abreast of corporate strategies and procedures. Rather it's about an inner exploration, which as you develop enables you to learn at a deeper level, successfully tackle current and future challenges, and enact so many of the typical tasks leaders face with newfound ease.
When asked, “How does it differ from other courses or programmes you’ve been on?” this is what participants have said:
Completely different – more engaging, practical and life changing.
This programme is by far the most comfortable and applicable. The opportunities to test ideas and feelings in a safe environment were wonderful.
Completely different approach. Much more supportive, nurturing learning environment.
No comparison!
The programme also focusses on developing a local leadership community, so you can continue to learn and grow as a leader once the programme finished. After all, developing as a leader is an on-going journey, and the more you can build your network, the more opportunities you have to continue to grow.
Don’t hesitate, just do it. Even if you’re a skeptic, you’ll amaze yourself with
what you’ll learn and how you feel. A most positive learning experience.
Inspiring! Very much a learner led experience. I have watched myself and the rest
of the group grow over the last few learning events.
If you get the opportunity to do this – embrace it. It will be one of the most
rewarding ways of spending time that you will ever find.
Applicable to all aspects of my work, not specific to just one situation; flexible and
driven by learner needs.
