All doctors need to be effective leaders within our health systems for optimal patient care. This 7-month practical program will improve your confidence and performance in all the areas of leadership required and/or chosen throughout your career.
Being a leader is not just about taking on official leadership roles or management positions. Good leadership has far-reaching implications across all components of our health systems, not only for high quality clinical outcomes but also for excellence in research and educational outcomes.
The new FLASH program was developed by doctors for doctors. Our teaching faculty have expertise and training in delivering leadership development programs, medical education and coaching. This stimulating program will be highly interactive and showcase numerous health professional leaders’ stories through live Q and A panels.
Your ability as a leader will be fostered in many ways including: examining and reflecting on your own behaviours and relationships with others; exploring ways to build effective teams; developing techniques to positively influence others for a common goal; better understanding the shape of the NSW health system and how components impact on each other; experiencing the benefits of coaching…
