SUMMARY:Project Management - Change Management and Service Transformation (F2F Venue TBC)
DESCRIPTION:  \nMaximum Capacity: 15 \n  \nSummary: \nSuccessful project delivery does not automatically result in successful organisational change. This practical module explores how project managers and practice leaders can move from implementing a technical solution to achieving sustainable changes in behaviours\, processes and service delivery.  \nDelegates examine current and future-state processes\, readiness for change\, stakeholder impact and resistance before considering how new ways of working can be tested\, implemented and embedded.  \nUsing realistic General Practice service transformation scenarios\, the session integrates project management with practical change-management and improvement techniques.  \n  \nCourse content: \n\nExplore the relationship between project management\, change management and service transformation and why technically successful projects can fail to achieve sustainable change\nUse process mapping and structured analysis to understand existing services\, identify problems and design improved future-state processes\nConsider how proposed changes affect different individuals\, teams and processes and assess organisational readiness for implementation\nExplore the causes of resistance\, leadership responses\, communication and engagement\, and use structured change principles to support adoption of new ways of working\nApply PDSA and implementation approaches to test change\, measure impact\, respond to emerging problems and ensure improvements become embedded within normal practice\n\n  \nOn completion of this course delegates will be able to (expected outcome): \n\nAnalyse existing services and processes and identify opportunities for structured service improvement and transformation\nAssess organisational readiness\, stakeholder impact and resistance and develop appropriate strategies to support successful implementation\nPlan\, test and embed service changes in a way that supports sustainable improvement rather than short-term project implementation

SUMMARY:PCN Management - Leading Change\, Service Redesign & Improvement (F2F Venue TBC)
DESCRIPTION:  \nMaximum Capacity: 15 \n  \nSummary: \nThis module develops the skills required to lead change and service improvement across Primary Care Networks where different practices\, teams and stakeholders may have different priorities\, processes and levels of readiness for change.  \nDelegates explore why change across PCNs can be particularly challenging and consider how to diagnose the problem before moving too quickly towards a solution. The course introduces practical approaches to stakeholder engagement\, process and pathway redesign\, managing resistance and testing improvements before wider implementation.  \nThe session also considers the role of the PCN Manager in creating the conditions for successful change\, maintaining engagement across organisational boundaries and ensuring that service redesign delivers measurable benefits rather than simply introducing new processes.  \nDelegates apply the learning to a realistic PCN service redesign challenge.  \n  \nCourse content: \n\nExplore why organisational change becomes more complex when it crosses practice and organisational boundaries and consider common reasons why PCN change initiatives encounter resistance or lose momentum\nUse structured approaches to understand current performance\, demand\, capacity\, variation\, stakeholder experience and root causes before determining an appropriate intervention\nExplore how patient pathways\, workforce roles\, processes\, interfaces and technology can be redesigned to improve effectiveness and patient experience\nConsider how PCN Managers can monitor whether expected benefits have been achieved and support the transition from short-term change project to embedded operational practice\n\n  \nOn completion of this course delegates will be able to (expected outcome): \n\nDiagnose PCN service and operational problems systematically before selecting improvement interventions\nApply practical service redesign and change-management approaches across multiple practices and stakeholder groups\nDevelop implementation approaches that address stakeholder engagement\, resistance\, measurement and benefits realisation
