The Programme Directors Group brings together Course Directors, Departmental Heads and other senior managers to help ensure that taught programmes continue to provide the highest quality education for current and future health managers. I have been a member of the group, along with my colleague Jillian McCarthy, for a number of years. We have been able to share our experiences respectively of the Alliance Manchester Business School (AMBS) MSc International Healthcare Leadership and the NHS Leadership Academy MSc Healthcare Leadership (Elizabeth Garrett Anderson) programme and to learn from our European colleagues.\u00a0I would wish to pay tribute to both Elly Breedveld and Siegfried Walch who stood down as co-chairs in 2018 and for the excellent steer that they have given to the group supported very professionally and enthusiastically by the EHMA secretariat.<\/p>\n<p>This year, we have reached a new milestone in the groups\u2019 development, building on the work of Elly and Siegried, during our 2019 meeting.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0First, we asked all members to provide a short outline of the main healthcare challenges that they would like to discuss at the meeting with the aim of agreeing strategic activities for the following twelve months through an agreed action plan. The second major change is the introduction of a Winter School, the aim of which is to encourage young healthcare leaders\/managers and professionals to\u00a0develop\u00a0their leadership\/managerial skills through competencies training focusing on major international challenges that face healthcare leaders and managers.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Programme Director Challenges<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The aim was to select a small number of challenges to be discussed in more detail during the meeting.\u00a0There was a remarkable coherence between the challenges that were identified, and it was not difficult to identify the four main challenges presented to programme directors:<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0How the increasing internationalisation of healthcare leadership can be incorporated within healthcare leadership development balancing this with the needs of national programmes and healthcare systems;<\/p>\n<p>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Acknowledging that blended learning, in its purest form, is fast becoming the \u2018new traditional model\u2019 of leadership and management development and one that PDs would wish to embrace;<\/p>\n<p>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0How to build both hard and soft skills for healthcare leaders and ensure that equal attention is paid to the application of the leadership development in practice alongside the achievement of the learning outcomes that define our healthcare leadership programmes; and<\/p>\n<p>4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0To explore how Programme Directors can collaborate across Europe in responding to these challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Our members formed two discussion groups and focused on challenges #1 and #2 whilst considering challenges #3 and #4 as part of the potential responses.\u00a0This was supported by two presentations that focused on existing blended learning programmes that have the potential to assist in developing a collaborative approach to practically based leadership development and a potential structure for a pilot collaborative programme that will support our response to the challenges. The focused discussion on challenges resulted in insightful suggestions for future action which was then incorporated within a twelve-month action plan.\u00a0This includes a commitment to provide support for healthcare programme directors to make the transition to blended learning approaches and to develop a pilot three-day programme that the EHMA PD group will coordinate with collaborating partners. \u00a0A further action is to include a Leadership and Management Coaching Session at the 2019 EHMA Conference in Finland.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The original article appeared on LinkedIn on 6th February 2019 by Stephen Brookes.
