Module overview
Modern health and social care delivery demands effective teamwork between healthcare professionals and other professional groups. This module will help you to enact team leadership in a principled way as you engage with others.
With a strong experiential approach to learning, the module will instil an enthusiasm for management and team working by providing the opportunity to develop managerial, leadership and team building capabilities. The module integrates an exploration of team leadership theory with the development of a practical toolkit that will enable you to apply this theory effectively in your working practice. As a key part of the module, you will develop your appreciation of working with and leading others through the experience of undertaking a series of management exercises in a two-day activity based workshop.
Throughout the module you will work closely with other healthcare professionals studying the module, including nurses, paramedics, allied health professionals, doctors and healthcare managers. Supported by our experienced staff, you will learn with and from each other through small group activities and discussion.
The key skills you should develop from the module go further than getting the best from teams—although this is a critical element of the module. It will also help you to get the best from yourself, and to lead others in a way where individuals get the best from themselves, enabling them to do things and achieve accomplishments that they believed were beyond their grasp
