Communicating with Professionals - Postponed

Master Classes for Senior Educators

Overview

An academic series of master classes mainly held at Deanery House on topical and emerging areas of medical education for the Deanery faculty. They will be open to the Deanery Educational Team and Educators in Schools and Trusts. Global and nationally important speakers will be invited.

Aim

Faculty development for senior educators in the Severn Deanery to assist in creating a consistent understanding about current developments and issues affecting medical education.

Reasons for offering the Master Class:

Effective communication is vital to the success of all educational establishments and developmental networks.  Today there are many ways of communicating and yet we still tend to use traditional and old fashioned methods and concentrate on information sending and information sharing in meetings.  This Master Class will explore how we can communicate much more effectively as a wide and large team of medical education professionals.

Speakers details:

Colette Dorward joined the National Trust two years ago after 25 years in management consultancy. Early on in her career she co-founded a firm called Smythe Dorward Lambert which grew into a major specialist consultancy in organisational communication and cultural change. Initially based in London, she developed the firm across Europe and opened offices in the USA. Smythe Dorward Lambert also funded the first chair in Organisation Communication at Birkbeck College, University of London. Colette left the company 10 years ago, after completing its sale to a large international group, and worked as senior partner for New-York based leadership and change consultancy Mercer Delta, latterly founding their London practice. She has been lucky to work for a very broad range of clients – from Marks & Spencer to Unilever – which has taken her all round the world. The National Trust’s internal consultancy was created in 2010 as a national network of 500-plus professional in disciplines as varied as archaeology and rural surveying to marketing and volunteer management.

Aim of this master class:

To explore how we could communicate much more effectively as a large group of educational professionals and understand what current best practice is in organisational communication processes.

Objectives for this master class:

• List the challenges we face to communicating effectively as a collaborative and networked team of diverse professionals.
• Outline best practice in communicating within a large and multi-faceted organisation.
• Summarise what communicating well involves including how to share information, raise key issues and explore these in an interactive way.
