Clinical leadership is a key element in all curricula and has been demonstrated to improve patient care. NHS England, working across Yorkshire and the Humber are now running free one day virtual courses for doctors and associated healthcare professionals in the region.
Courses will be delivered by current clinicians and educators. The course is aimed at doctors of the following grades: ST1-4, GPST, CT1-3. AHPs who are currently in training or early in their careers are also welcome to attend.
This course will be most relevant to those who have little experience of leadership training in the past. This will be an interactive, reflective day providing an understanding of clinical
leadership and its role within the NHS.
Courses are currently available on the following dates:
TBC
All booking is via MaxCourse (www.maxcourse.co.uk/HEEYHME/). If you have any queries, please email: england.professionalsupport.yh@nhs.net
The University of Sheffield Surgical Society has created a facebook page called 'Surgical roots'. The aim of the page is to help connect medical students and surgeons, allowing students to ask questions and get advice. The society is looking for surgical registrars and consultants to join the group and to help answer student questions about surgery, offer advice and promote networking. Please visit the Surgical Roots Facebook Page for more information or join in.
A new e-learning programme from NHS England e-Learning for Healthcare (HEE e-LfH) aims to support health and care professionals with court-related experiences.
The Medico-legal Training programme provides resources for doctors and other health and care professionals who may be asked to write a statement or report or give evidence in a coroners’ or other court for the first time. It aims to offer support for what can be, for many, a daunting experience.
It includes brief video lectures and PowerPoint slides from the lectures as well as sample statements and references.
Course materials were developed by HEE Kent, Surrey and Sussex with staff from the London Havens, and health professionals with experience of the legal system. The Havens are sexual assault referral centres which have developed considerable experience in training clinicians to undertake forensic examinations and aftercare.
The e-learning resource is available now on the e-LfH Hub and will soon also be available on the Electronic Staff Record (ESR).
