Professor Janet Grant is a leading expert in change management, particularly within the healthcare sector. Her extensive research and practical insights focus on the complexities of organizational change in medical settings. Through her work, she has developed strategies that empower healthcare professionals to navigate transitions, improve team dynamics, and enhance patient care delivery.
Professor Grant emphasizes the importance of a collaborative approach to change, where effective communication, leadership, and ongoing professional development are key components. Her work is invaluable in guiding medical professionals through the evolving landscape of healthcare, ensuring that they not only adapt to change but thrive in it. This workshop, inspired by her work, will equip medical professionals with the tools and strategies needed to successfully manage change within their teams and institutions.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
Medical education is constantly developing and changing. To ensure that the right changes are planned and implemented effectively, the skills of leadership and change management are required. This workshop will guide participants through the stages of effective change management and will enable them to reflect on and develop their own leadership skills.
The workshop will be conducted over two afternoons and will address the following topics:
What is change?
What are orders of change?
Factors in well-managed change: The vision and The leader
Components of the change process
Professional characteristics and styles in health professions
Stages and core activities in change management
Tried and tested rules of managing change
Useful analytical tools: People chart, Force field analysis, Interaction map
Dealing with barriers to change.
In addition, participants will consider leadership in change management, by addressing the following:
The essential tasks of leadership
The uniqueness of medical education
Leadership style
Leadership and management
Leadership and management models
Skills and knowledge required of a leader-manager
Your personal leadership style
The challenges facing leaders in medical education
Leading change.
We intend the first afternoon to address change management, and the second afternoon to address leadership in support of change management. However, we will ensure that there will be every opportunity to follow the specific interests and problems of participants, and the two aspects may well become interwoven.
We will try to ensure that participants are always thinking of changes that they are themselves involved in, or changes that they would like to lead. The culture in which participants work will always be taken into account.
There will be plenty of opportunity for interaction, questions and clarification.
