Healthcare management is a specialised discipline that requires a mixture of clinical experience, managerial and leadership skills, and the ability to navigate a transition from hands-on clinical work to clerical oversight and leadership responsibilities. This Ausmed Course provides teachings on how to successfully make the transition into a healthcare management position and establish foundational skills to support your career as a new manager.

Who it's for:

All healthcare professionals who have recently entered managerial positions or those looking to pursue a management position in the future within healthcare environments.

Why it's needed:

Research undertaken within the Australian healthcare sector has proven that there is a direct correlation between healthcare leadership and quality outcomes for both employees and patients. Employee experience has been shown to be directly informed by the work environment and culture cultivated and facilitated by healthcare managers, which in turn has a direct impact on patient outcomes. Therefore, education specifically for newly promoted healthcare managers is essential for fostering the appropriate skills, traits and insights proven to be fundamental in cultivating a positive employee experience. A key aspect of this education is addressing the unique challenges new managers are likely to face in the healthcare sector.

Purpose:

To educate those seeking career development on the essential competencies required of healthcare managers in order to achieve improved quality outcomes for both staff and patients.
