FLAME (Fundamentals in Leadership and Management for Educators) Workshop 17 July 2012, Brighton, UK

General Information

An ASM Pre-Conference Workshop to be held on Tuesday 17th July 2012.

This one day workshop provides an overview and introduction to key aspects of leadership and management for educators working or training in a healthcare setting. The workshop is designed for those working, or aspiring to work, in leadership and management roles in healthcare education and training organisations (including Universities, Deaneries, postgraduate centres and other clinical settings) who wish to develop a deeper understanding of the theory behind leadership and management, and gain an evidence base for their ideas and strategies towards becoming a more effective leader.  

The workshop comprises a combination of interactive group activities, shorts (presentations), and individual exercises aimed towards gaining insight into the impact of leadership styles and approaches on the way that educational organisations are structured and function. The workshop covers some of the core topics in educational leadership and management including challenges and opportunities, policy impact, change, leading people and teams, leading in complex environments and setting personal goals.  As time is limited we will aim to offer tasters that will whet the appetite for further activity and allow participants to determine their future focus, including towards our next step residential course if relevant.
