About the Course

The components of this module give us the key components to excel as clinical leaders. The module cognitively frames non-technical skills as the gateway to robust leadership attributes. The module examines aspects such as:

  • 360 Vs 90 degree leadership 
  • Traits of effective leadership 
  • Anchoring good practice 
  • Cognitive resilience tips 
  • The mental model
  • Conflict management 
  • The power of agreement


These are a few of the subjects covered. The module is designed to unearth the non-technical skills that will cause you to approach the patient and the team differently in order to harness the best from both. We summarise with the best leadership tips from practice that separates the 'great clinicians from the good clinicians'.
