People Management Skills Program (PMSP)

A course for current and aspiring clinical and non-clinical managers across NSW Health.
  • Develop the skills that build effective people management.
  • Create working environments that  enhance patient care.
  • Engage with highly-skilled facilitators.
  • Learn in a supportive group environment.
  • Six-month blended learning course, comprising:
    • Initial two-day interactive workshops.
    • Self-paced e-learning.
    • Workplace implementation project as agreed with your line-manager.
      Final workshop, presentation and   reflective discussions.

The PMSP course assisted me to translate theory and skills I had learnt as a clinician from a clinical environment into a leadership role. The course project enabled me to lead and influence a whole of hospital change. It has inspired me to continue to develop my leadership skills to be more effective in leading systems improvements and influencing change as a senior clinician.
