Objectives

The objectives of this blended learning approach are to provide ;

  1. An overview of the key models of leadership required for leading the Emergency Department (ED) team
  2. An understanding of the skills required to care for yourself and your team as well as leading on key aspects of healthcare change in the challenging environment of an emergency care system.

A learning development journey with online lectures, supported by a full 1.5 day workshop that will explore and solve real world ED problems with a highly experienced international Faculty.

Development of leadership skills are a vital component of being an excellent emergency physician. Over the past 5 years EuSEM has run a number of pre-conference study days to allow delegates to attend and have face to face teaching on some of the core principles in leadership and management. The LeadEM workshops are highly innovative and have had very high scores from attendees in terms of impact and influence on future working practices. The LeadEM course provides a structured programme that links to the key domains of leadership development for emergency physicians in Europe.
