Introduction

This Physician Associates Study Day, run in conjuction with the Royal College of Physicians, comprises two workshops:

  • Working and leading in teams
  • Teaching in the clinical environment.

Working and leading in teams

The first workshop is tailored to the needs of all physician associates, regardless of specialty, who work in clinical teams.

The ever-changing nature and demand of the healthcare workforce can present a challenge to effective teamwork, development and most importantly patient care. Physician associates are well placed to recognise and positively influence these challenges, for example when there is regular turnover of staff. This workshop will explore your current team structure and function, and suggest how you can maximise its performance.

By identifying different theories and methods including leadership styles, we aim to equip you with practical ideas to utilise in your own workplace.

Teaching in the clinical environment

This second workshop for physician associates with an interest in teaching will provide you with practical suggestions to maximise the learning opportunities for your learners, and to address any common challenges.

Finding time to teach against a backdrop of high-demand service provision can be challenging. A diverse group of learners, both undergraduate and postgraduate across a range of professions, can add to the challenge.
