Better Training Better Care
In well-led organisations, clinicians at all levels contribute significantly to the effective leadership and management of health care services. This includes supporting the education and training of colleagues at all levels. The evidence indicates that good medical leadership has a positive impact on patients, teams and organisations.
Better Training Better Care
What is it?
Health Education England’s Better Training Better Care (BTBC) programme was commissioned to build on the key recommendations from Sir John Temple’s Time for Training and Professor John Collins’ Foundation for Excellence to improve the quality of training and learning to benefit patient care. Phase one of the programme coordinated 25 pilot projects from NHS trusts in England, nine of which were led by trainees.
Webinar series
FMLM worked closely with Health Education England to promote the outcomes and lessons learnt from the pilot projects to support organisations, teams and doctors with leadership development. We ran a series of interactive webinars in which six pilot projects shared their experiences and a dynamic panel helped to draw out the successes, challenges and lessons learnt - including the different types of leadership required to sustain service changes.
