Kent’s staff invited to the short CPD course Introduction to Interprofessional Working within an Organisational Context.

What impact do cultures, sub-cultures and frameworks related to leadership have on interprofessional collaborations within and across organisations?

This one day transdisciplinary CPD course on Saturday 24 March 2018, 09:00 – 17:00 is open to all individuals who undertake collaborative activity as part of their role. Collaboration may include working in partnership with colleagues within the organisation or may involve working collaboratively across organisations, for example; through projects, major initiatives such as mergers or in negotiating service strategies.

Working collaboratively with others requires skill and is strongly influenced by the context in which the collaboration takes place and the intention of the participants. The aim of this CPD event is to provide an understanding of concepts and theoretical frameworks related to collaborative leadership within and across organisations and to identify key cultural issues that might enhance or inhibit collaboration.

Topics covered will include:

  • Considering the emergence and purpose of organisational culture
  • Identifying norms and values related to organisational culture
  • Considering how cultures form
  • Critiquing evolving theories of leadership and their impact on collaborations
  • Reviewing the role of the team within collaborative practice

On completion of the event, you will be able to:

  • Critically appraise differing models, concepts and frameworks related to leadership and team working; specifically styles and approaches impacting on multidisciplinary working.
  • Demonstrate a clear understanding of the context, characteristics and culture of interprofessional and collaborative working and interaction, both within and across organisations.

The fee for this CPD event is £60.

This short CPD course can be booked and paid for via the University’s online store.
