Build the quality indicators for clinical department leadership that reflect patient outcome, not activity.
Building Medical Leadership Skills for Clinical Department Heads
A concise, decision-focused programme covering clinical department leadership end to end.
Course Overview
Variation in clinical department leadership between shifts and sites is where avoidable harm lives. In healthcare, a weakness in the practice within health and pharmaceutical services is eventually paid for by a patient. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in this part of health and pharmaceutical services that were visible long before the incident. It is designed for mixed groups, so that clinical department leadership is examined from more than one functional angle. The course gives participants a defensible structure for this area of health and pharmaceutical services and the judgement to adapt it. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from the practice within health and pharmaceutical services, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting clinical department leadership and under-invest in testing it. Participants finish able to explain this area of health and pharmaceutical services to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. The final module sets out how progress on the practice within health and pharmaceutical services will be evidenced six months later.
