The healthcare system requires leaders, but clinicians often find themselves in these positions without formal leadership training.
This two-day intensive program is designed for healthcare professionals of all disciplines who want to develop the practical leadership skills needed to deliver better outcomes for organisations, colleagues and patients.
The Intensive Clinical Leadership program offers students the opportunity to undertake one of two subjects that form part of the Specialist Certificate in Clinical Leadership: Leadership in Clinical Settings or Leading Healthcare Change for Impact. Intake availability is determined by the study dates of these subjects.
This intensive offers practical leadership skills tailored to the needs of healthcare professionals. Gain knowledge, skills and tools you can put into practice straight away to promote excellence within your clinical setting.

I have not done a course before that impacted on my clinical work so directly and profoundly. Even my junior doctors have noted the difference in me. Presenters were of a superior calibre and share their stories and knowledge so generously.
