Professional Skills Programme

The Severn Deanery, working with Directors of Medical Education, has prepared a modular programme of Professional and Generic Skills courses, which covers topics such as leadership skills and change management. Specialist Trainees should ensure that they complete this programme.

The training across the patch is being coordinated into a single transferable programme. There are 10 modules which have been split into early, mid and late years of training and include the following topics:

  • Module 1 Introduction to the Programme and Learning Styles
  • Module 2 How Understanding Personality Types can improve communication
  • Module 3 Career Management
  • Module 4 Patient Safety, Governance and Risk Management
  • Module 5 Introduction to Medical Ethics and Law
  • Module 6 Becoming a Teacher
  • Module 7 Leadership and Management
  • Module 8 Understanding the Health and Social Care Economy
  • Module 9 Managing change and Transitions
  • Module 10 Action Learning Sets

The programme is primary designed for doctors in training working within the Severn Deanery’s jurisdiction.

It is co-ordinated by the Severn Deanery and delivered locally via the Academies (a network of Learning Centres based on major healthcare sites). There may be variation in style and method of delivery across Academies but the programme will be evaluated annually to ensure quality and overall consistency.

However, the long term aim is for the programme to be multi-professional and other Health Care Professionals at a similar level are therefore welcome.

We have also commissioned three of the modules as e-learning from Doctors.net. These are:

  • Understanding the Health and Social Care Economy
  • Patient Safety, Governance and Risk
  • Medical Ethics and the Law

If you are registered with Doctors.net, the courses will already be available for you to access. We would be grateful if you could fill in the short questionnaire from Doctors.net after completing a module – this will help us understand your views on e-learning.

Registration, administration and access to e-learning is coordinated on the Managed Learning Environment (MLE) http://lms.e2train.com/nhssw where you can see when and where modules are taking place in each Academy and apply for a place online, and also carry out e-learning. If you do not have a login, please contact Barbara Burgess (details below) who will require your date of birth in order to add your name to the system and issue you with a username.

The first three modules are generally intended for Years 1&2, the second three modules for years 3&4 and the next three for years 5-6. Action learning sets are likely to span a number of years. Click the adjacent link to see the intended learning outcomes for each module.
