About the workshop

Leadership is critical to developing a more people-centered health system that is equitable, effective and sustainable. It is a central attribute in the delivery of safe, quality patient care. Looking back at many case studies, it is evident that ineffective leadership is a major contributing factor to poor healthcare delivery and consumer outcomes.

Workshop structure

The Advancing Leadership for Clinical Governance workshop is a one-day (eight hour) workshop where you will reflect on your own motivations, assumptions, values and behaviours to build your capability to initiate and lead transformative change in the health sector.

As part of the workshop, you will also gain access to the Effective Leadership in the Healthcare Setting online course (which can be purchased as a stand-alone course), which serves as the pre-reading that informs the workshop content. You are required to complete the online course, which will be made available 4 weeks prior to the workshop and will close 6 months after your workshop is completed.

The online course (pre-reading) consists of three modules:

• Module A: Identifying your leadership potential
• Module B: Effective leadership on the front line
• Module C: Leading innovation and change

It is estimated that you will need to spend approximately three hours per module and nine hours in total on this course¹, which can be completed over multiple days.

All AICG programs have been written by experts to reflect the elements of the AICG Clinical Governance Framework, reviewed by the Course Advisory Committee and approved for continuing professional development points/hours by the accrediting bodies; RACGP, ACRRM and ACN.
