The 2nd Swindon and Severn Course in ‘ Transformational Leadership , Collaborative Management and Health economics’

Dear All

The 2nd Swindon and Severn Course in ‘ Transformational Leadership , Collaborative Management and Health economics’ is being expanded to six days – i.e three 2 day modules covering the above mentioned topics. The teams of trainees and mangers will also do a Project and do not pay for the 6 day taught course. There will be one team from each hospital in the Severn deanery.

We are also associating with Keele University this year – they will not only deliver a part of the course, the participants will have an opportunity to get their Project assessed by Keele (on payment of £400) and get a Keele Postgraduate Award in Healthcare Leadership and Management. They can also proceed to do an additional module from a choice of four (eg post grad education involving 2 days at Keele and some online learning) with an additional payment of £450 and get a Keele Postgraduate Certificate. Similarly they can later proceed to do a Masters if they so desire.

Option 1:  CPD only: 6 days taught course ( 11/12 feb 2013, 18/19 April 2013 and 17/18 June 2013) Option 2: 30 credit Postgraduate Award - Price per participant in addition to £695 above   TOTAL PRICE FOR AWARD PER HEAD Option 3: 60 credit Postgraduate Certificate ( one extra module) Total Cost

£695  £400   £1095     £450  £1545

I have reserved 10 places for Consultants/SAS Doctors/Managers/other senior healthcare professionals ( who may/may not be a mentor to the participating trainee-manager team), managers ( who are not part of the team) and other senior professionals – who will pay £650 for the 6 day course and additionally if they so desire. If they are not going for the P/G Award or Certificate, they do not have to do a project. The normal certificate course is often spread over a year, people have to attend multiple sessions far out of town and the cost is between £4000-6000. This obviously presents a good, cost effective and convenient opportunity to improve your understanding of these issues, and get an award/certificate if you so desire. The Consultant places will be reserved on a first come first serve basis – a deposit of £100 is required to secure your place.
