Course information

Event Overview

Medical leadership and management is of growing importance. Developing effective services for older patients living with frailty lie at the heart of future planning for the NHS and commissioners and policymakers are increasingly turning to consultant geriatricians to provide expert advice on clinical governance and service delivery models.

New consultant geriatricians, and senior healthcare professionals. need to have skills in clinical leadership to ensure that services change and develop to meet the specific challenges raised by our patients.While there are many generic courses on management and leadership available to help specialist registrars, there are none that address the specific needs of one of the largest medical specialties, geriatric medicine. To help address this gap, the British Geriatrics Society is holding a two-day residential course specifically designed for senior StRs in geriatric medicine, focusing on management and leadership issues that affect health services for older people.
The objective is for each delegate to leave the weekend with a personal development plan for leadership and management for the start of their career as a consultant in geriatric medicine. It is a not-for-profit course run for the benefit of BGS members and offers exceptional value for money.

Who should attend

  • The course is aimed at senior (ST6 and ST7) specialist registrars in geriatric medicine, who are approaching their final registrar year and looking for a consultant position in the near future.
  • New consultants, SAS grade doctors and advanced clinical practitioners are welcome to join as well.

Why participate

  • Gain more knowledge about the interview process for becoming a consultant in geriatric medicine. Practice and develop interview skills – anticipate and prepare for potential questions.

  • Gain vital knowledge on key leadership and management challenges facing health services for older people.
  • Get professional guidance & assistance on how to avoid common pitfalls in leading the delivery of services for older patients living with frailty
  • Develop contacts to render help and mentorship during your first year as a geriatric consultant, or senior leadership role.
  • Refresh and refocus: The venue is set in 330 acres of the University of Nottingham's landscaped parkland with free access to the state-of-the-art gym and 25m swimming pool at the University of Nottingham’s David Ross Sports Village. We will hold a dinner on Saturday night as well.
