They are open to HEE Southwest, Postgraduate Medical Educational Teams, Educators in Trusts and GP Trainers. Global and nationally important speakers and subject experts are sought and invited.

Aim

A programme of faculty development for senior educators in the Severn and Peninsula to assist in creating a consistent understanding about current developments and issues affecting medical education.

 

Reasons for offering this Master Class:

Networking through meeting and keeping in contact with other professionals and people both in our sphere of expertise and outside it is a great way to develop work contacts, find out new ideas, stimulate future  possibilities and develop links with organisations and individuals that can help us now and in the future.  As society and work continues to become more complex and fragmented actively engaging in networks through conferences, meetings, social media and other ways of connecting can help you gather updated information on your work related interests, find out about the latest trends in your professional field and collect more opportunities and develop possibilities. Regular use of a communication styles and power inventory with trainee and qualified clinicians shows that networking is often the method of professional development least used by doctors.

 

Speaker details:

Clare Davis is a senior training consultant principally working with the Referral Institute which is an organisation that provides experienced consultation and tools to help business and healthcare professionals gain success through relationship-based referral marketing and networking.  She has developed and run a highly successful series of workshops for Severn PGME on communication skills, assertiveness and personality based behavioural styles.
