Background

  • There is frequently a lack of understanding about management, NHS finances and health economics amongst postgraduate medical trainees. This can carry forward into careers following being appointed as a Consultant, GP, Staff Doctor or Associate Specialist.
  • Similarly there is often a lack of understanding about the role of managers including the pressures and obligations they face – in fact there can be a mistrust, which again may carry on later. This lack of understanding is sometimes mutual and NHS managers often do not fully comprehend or understand the duties, responsibilities and commitments of medical trainees and qualified doctors.

The Aims of the HELM Programme are to

  • identify and develop aspirational leaders
  • develop collaborative working to meet organisational goals – encouraging movement away from the ‘them and us’ mentality.
  • create understanding of strategic thinking and project management.
  • develop improved knowledge of healthcare economics, changes and the future for the NHS .
  • Provide an opportunity for exposure to leadership coaches and strategic NHS and Business leaders.

The Programme itself is

  • efficient and practical
  • modular – building up to a desired level of accreditation including CPD points to Masters degree level
