View this e-Learning course for Free! (Without certification)
Frontline clinical services have rightly focused on delivery clinical quality as the key factor representing service success. Whereas clinical quality remains vital in a modern service, the introduction of a competitive marketplace in an environment of increased expectation, stringent national targets and growing financial famine dictates the need for a strategic re-focus. To survive and thrive in this increasingly unforgiving environment requires a broader focus, with excellence achieved across an additional set of factors beyond clinical outcome. At the same time, increasing demand and shorter waiting times have kept front line clinical leaders sufficiently busy that keeping up with the changes, along with the opportunities and threats arising, has been almost impossible.
This programme provides a solid bedrock of understanding that all clinical leaders should have, if they are to strategically steer services to long term success.
