GP development - time management workshop

You will learn how to say ‘no’ without having to change who you are and how to be firm but fair. It requires a degree of planning and a change in behaviour to establish new boundaries and devise a prioritisation grid that helps you define the difference between the things that are important and urgent. Assertiveness also has elements of negotiation skills that enable you to implement the new behaviours and make the desired changes to your working patterns.

• Duration: Half day

• Location: On-site/locally

Who should attend?

Don’t miss opportunity to work with leading specialists in a series of full day workshops specifically focused on the ‘business’ aspects of General Practice.

• General Practitioners
• Practice Managers
• Senior Practice Nurses

Learning Outcomes

Course Objectives – Management of time, one of our most precious resources, is something that people throughout most organisations struggle with every day. In Primary Care scope and complexity of the clinical roles can exacerbate time pressure; effective control of time is something that is particularly important in a clinical setting, where there are always too many things to do in too little time.

By the end of the workshop delegates will be able to:

• Understand some of the core principles of effective time management
• Define how these principles affect those working in clinical settings
• Effectively analyse and prioritise tasks and work loads
• Effectively manage appointment time to ensure things start on time, stay on time and stop on time
• More accurately predict whether a task is possible within time limits
• Utilise tools and techniques to handle disruptions and people who use up time
• Communicate with colleagues and patients about workload and time scales
• Be more effective at getting work and task done within agreed timescales
