Foundations in Leadership for Medical Practitioners
In the UK, leadership is firmly on the NHS (National Health Service) agenda and training programmes for doctors.
"It is not enough for a clinician to act as a practitioner in their own discipline. They must act as partners to their colleagues, accepting shared accountability for the service provided to their patients. They are also expected to offer leadership and to work with others to change systems when it is necessary for the benefit of patients."
Tomorrow's Doctors, 20
Such an agenda is typical, worldwide. This Strategic Leadership Programme is designed to help you learn how to:
create strategy
plan
build morale
develop administrative expertise
form and maintain effective relationships
create alliances
build trust.
This programme will help you to develop these skills to make you more effective in your role and will help you to develop those people who report to you and without whom you cannot succeed.
Course structure
There are six modules. Each module contains a number of topics and each topic is introduced and its relevance explained. There are exercises for you to complete and you may be encouraged to ask for feedback from appropriate people. Often there will be a questionnaire for you to explore your competence and to identify your development needs. You will be encouraged to set an action plan to develop an area of competence. You will also be encouraged to carry out the action plan and assess your level of success.
Module content
Module 1 - Understanding strategic leadership
Module 2 - Understanding yourself
Module 3 - Creating direction
Module 4 - Leading others
Module 5 - Communicating and being visible

Course duration
The modules have been designed for you to work at your own pace, although it is expected that you will complete the course within 12 months. There may be an area that you are very competent in and you may only need to be reminded of good practice. There may be areas or subjects that are particularly challenging and you may want to spend some time developing your skills and testing yourself to your satisfaction.
