message

“Training is provided through e-learning; didactic teaching from experienced NHS clinicians, managers and data analysts; and close supervision from experienced mentors. In this way the fellows are able to…understand NHS and local trust processes…[and] analyse patient flow and workforce data to put forward innovative ideas and suggest new ways of working. The CLEAR programme also delivers the essential generic skills required by the GMC’s professional capabilities framework to provide safe, effective, high quality care…allowing the Fellows to develop into effective, motivated leaders in their fields in the future.”
