The Importance

The healthcare landscape is evolving at a significant pace into a competitive market where services must either thrive or risk erosion, even loss. That requires proactive attention to all aspects influencing service success, including clinical effectiveness, financial robustness & stability, highest quality of patient experience, effective services promotion strategies, strategic vision & development and PEOPLE. Whereas healthcare has always been a team sport, never has there been a time where the performance of teams is so vital to service vitality..

Medicology Model of Team Effectiveness

When we set up years ago, we were the only healthcare-specific leadership, management & performance training provider. Since those early days we’ve continued to learn, innovate and evolve whilst the others have played catch up. Whilst others focus the virtues of leadership generically, we apply it to the gritty reality of today’s NHS with competition, financial pressures, increasing expectations and large scale reform. You need people who can get the right stuff done, expeditiously – that’s what we deliver.

Course Type & Teaching Methods

All courses consist of an engaging blend of lectures, exercises, discussions & case studies designed to truly embed the principles whilst developing the practical application of them. Course numbers are kept low to encourage discussion and debate, whilst ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to examine issues pertinent to them.

Course Options

In-House/ Bespoke for Groups
Bringing us in-house allows you to tailor programmes to specific local requirements or challenges, whilst lowering the cost of training by reducing travel and benefiting from a lower cost per person in fees. Typically a one-day programme costs around £1,650 + VAT + expenses, depending on the degree of tailoring, the distance to travel (yes, you will pay more for Stornaway, sorry!) and the overall complexity. We’d be happy to provide a detailed quotation.
