Course objectives

As a CT you may not realise that you are already a leader in the eyes of many healthcare staff, patients and their families.

So the main objective of this course is to provide you with some simple but effective and practical generic teamwork, management and leadership skills that you can immediately start thinking about and using in complex situations at work, and for that matter in your personal life. These are simple enough to bring to mind in stressful situations so you can respond more constructively and more effectively in a wide range of situations.

For example, responding to an angry patient, understanding your own preferred working styles and that of your colleagues, becoming more effective when encountering difficulties and frustrations with management and healthcare colleagues, negotiating your work schedules, changing practice in your organisation, being more effective as a clinical leader, managing your own future career in the current difficult environment, and other situations. It won’t solve all your problems, but it might lower your blood pressure by giving you insights into what is happening around you and lead to better ways of managing day to day issues at work.
