British Geriatrics Society (BGS) 2024 Leadership and Management Course

British Geriatrics Society (BGS) 2024 Leadership and Management Course is organized by British Geriatrics Society (BGS) and will be held from Nov 02 - 03, 2024 at The Jubilee Hotel & Conferences, Nottingham, England, United Kingdom.

Description:
A two-day residential course specifically designed for those in training roles in geriatric medicine, moving into senior roles. This course focuses on management and leadership issues that affect health services for older people.

Medical leadership and management is of growing importance. Developing effective services for older patients living with frailty lie at the heart of future planning for the NHS and commissioners and policymakers are increasingly turning to consultant geriatricians to provide expert advice on clinical governance and service delivery models.

New consultant geriatricians, and senior healthcare professionals. need to have skills in clinical leadership to ensure that services change and develop to meet the specific challenges raised by our patients. While there are many generic courses on management and leadership available to help specialist registrars, there are none that address the specific needs of one of the largest medical specialties, geriatric medicine. To help address this gap, the British Geriatrics Society is holding a two-day residential course specifically designed for senior StRs in geriatric medicine, focusing on management and leadership issues that affect health services for older people.

The objective is for each delegate to leave the weekend with a personal development plan for leadership and management for the start of their career as a consultant in geriatric medicine. It is a not-for-profit course run for the benefit of BGS members and offers exceptional value for money.
