Insights - Understanding the Evolving Healthcare Landscape (Non-Executive Directors)

CPD Points: 5, This is a 1 day Course

Description

Vital insight that every Non-Executive Director should know to help steer services effectively

The evolving healthcare landscape is demanding, competitive, increasingly financially challenged (read famine...) and very unforgiving to the ill-prepared organisation or service. Services survive and thrive by being effective across what we call the 6 Core Components of Clinical Business Excellence, requiring a proactive, collaborative and well-founded approach to healthcare based on genuine knowledge and insight. The role of the Non-Executive is to ensure that their organisations do the right things. That can only be done with the right bedrock of understanding including insight into risk, threat, opportunity, competition and more. That's what this programme delivers - insightful!
