ENGAGE Clinical Leadership and Improvement Programme
The Northern Ireland Medical & Dental Training Agency in collaboration with the HSC Leadership Centre, established the ENGAGE Clinical Leadership and Improvement Programme for final year GP, Dental and Specialty Trainees across Health and Social Care in Northern Ireland.
The ENGAGE Clinical Leadership and Improvement Programme aims to challenge, develop and support doctors to ensure they are prepared to lead effectively so they can influence, shape and improve the delivery of high quality patient-centred care in their organisations and across the Health and Social Care System.
Effective leadership creates successful teams, and successful teams drive better outcomes (Leadership for a collaborative and inclusive future, Sir Gordon Messenger 2022).
This programme aims to challenge, develop and support doctors and dentists who are within 6 to 18 months of CCT in Specialty Training to ensure that they are prepared to lead effectively so that they can influence, shape and improve the delivery of high quality patient-centred care.
Programme Modules
To complete this programme, trainees will attend seven modules organised on Monday evenings between September and May of each academic year. These modules will be delivered by consultants from the HSC Leadership Centre with input from senior clinical leaders and improvers from the HSC as well as external contributors.
A full list of the most recent dates and times can be found in the programme below.
Before considering to apply, please review these carefully as attendance is crucial to the completion of the programme. Trainees will be required to attend at least 70% of all listed modules in order to successfully pass (including the Showcase Event at the end of the programme).
Quality Improvement Projects
Participants will also complete a Quality Improvement project. This may be a project that the participant has already started or needs to complete as part of their curriculum.
This Quality Improvement project should not be viewed as additional work but rather the programme will act as a catalyst and support the completion of this initiative.
Quality Improvement work will be displayed during the end of year showcase event, with the opportunity to compete for oral presentation prizes.
Criteria to Apply
There are places for 45 participants in total. The programme is open to trainees in dentistry, general practice or hospital-based specialty training who have 6 to 18 months remaining until CCT at the time of the first module.
Your participation in the programme will be completely funded by NIMDTA.
The programme is voluntary and will be delivered in the evenings and will take place online via Zoom.
Places on the programme will be allocated to eligible applicants on a first come, first served basis.
Interested applicants are encouraged to complete an application form as soon as possible.
If you are interested in participating in this programme, please complete the Application Form below and submit to ValuedTrainees@hscni.net. Applications must be submitted by 11.59pm on Monday 9th September 2024.
Showcase Event 2024
The showcase event was the final module of the Leadership Programme which invited trainee doctors and dentists to showcase their learning and achievements through a presentation of a Quality Improvement (QI) projects.
Ms Sandra McCarry (Principle Consultant, HSCLC) commenced proceedings by welcoming all participants and the judging panel to the event, and provided a background on the ENGAGE Leadership Programme and its objectives.
The judging panel for the evening consisted of:
- Dr Aideen Keaney, Director of Health and Social Care Quality Improvement, HSCQI
- Dr Sally-Anne Phillips, Associate Dean for Placement Quality, NIMDTA
- Dr Paul Leggett, Director of Postgraduate GP Education, NIMDTA
Following Ms McCarry’s opening remarks, the top three QI Poster Presentations were presented in full to all attendees, followed by a question and answer session.
The top three QI Poster Projects (selected via smart survey) presented at the event were:
- Dr Clare Shute - Escaping the Escape Room: Development of an “Emergency Eye Trolley” for on Call Ophthalmologist in BHSCT
- Dr Sheema Khan - Standardisation of Biometry for Cataract Surgery in Northern Ireland
- Dr Susan Lenfesty - Locum Inductions Quality Improvement Project RVH & Mater Hospital Emergency Departments
After retiring to consider all 3 oral presentations, the judges awarded Dr Susan Lenfesty first place, Dr Clare Shute second place and Dr Sheema Khan third place!
Dr Camille Harron, Postgraduate Dean & Director of Education NIMDTA, delivered the closing remarks for the event and congratulations was extended to all ENGAGE Clinical Leadership and Improvement Programme Trainees, for the year 2023-2024.
A special thanks was also extended to Ms Sandra McCarry and Ms Maura McMackin for facilitating the event.
