Open - HETI

Skills learnt in the workshops are complemented and further developed by an ongoing
program of projects completed in syndicate groups, self-directed and web-based
learning, a mentor program and practical leadership experience in the workplace.
The dates for 2011 program will be released on the CETI website shortly.
Group numbers for the program are generally up to 25 people.
As a demonstration of the program, Dr McCahon led a group activity within the JMO
Forum. Groups were asked to work together without using verbal communication to
form paper shapes on their desks. This proved to be both entertaining and
educational, as participants were able to see their own different leadership styles.

Handover group – Dr Hamish Dunn
The handover group conducted focus group interviews at each of the pilot sites
for the new JMO shift handover process.
Thematic analysis revealed four common themes. (1) Efficiency: JMOs wanted a
time efficient process with senior leadership and a locally appropriate review of
attendance. (2) Tools involved in handover should ensure documentation not
duplication of work, with a dominant focus on patient care not administration. (3)
Education and supervision are the ‘selling points’ of the handover process to
JMOs. They help to instil a strong hospital handover culture. A guide for senior
