Course description
This postgraduate certificate course is targeted at doctors and other clinicians, working both in primary care and in acute services. It offers development in aspects of leadership relevant to you as a clinician working on the ward or in the clinic, so that you can play a fuller role in improving health service quality and discuss performance issues and potential innovations effectively with managerial colleagues. Studying for this postgraduate certificate will deepen your understanding of service performance and clinical team-working. This qualification requires developing detailed improvement plans for the service you are working in. This postgraduate certificate course is relevant to clinicians at any stage in their post-qualification career. If you are in formal charge of a clinic or practice, you can use your studies to demonstrate and deepen your leadership competence. If you are in a more junior clinical role, you can use your certificate studies to explore leadership opportunities available to you in their current role, demonstrating knowledge and competence needed to a build your promotion case. The certificate is obtained by study of a series of short professional development (CPD) courses, each requiring only 25 or 50 hours of study. When you have completed CPD courses totalling 250 hours of study you can use these within the framework of an assessment module, which on successful completion will give you 30 credits at postgraduate level. You can then go on to study further specified continuing professional development (CPD) courses totalling another 250 hours of study. You can use these within a similar assessment framework module to obtain another 30 credits. Successful completion of the two assessment modules will enable you to achieve the Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Leadership. You will need to study a minimum of 12 CPD courses and two assessment modules. Each CPD course can be studied and completed within 8 to 12 weeks. There are two opportunities a year to register for the assessment modules.
