The aim of this programme is to create a culture that embraces change, learning and development in order to position the hospital at the leading edge of medical treatment and care. This programme is at the cutting edge of learning and development and incorporates innovative and creative practices and methodologies. Participants are middle and senior ranking staff from a variety of clinical and non-clinical disciplines. This programme is part of the 3U Initiative. The Irish Hospice Foundation The Irish Hospice Foundation runs two programmes in conjunction with the RCSI Institute of Leadership: MSc in Bereavement Studies and a Certificate in Children & Loss. The Foundation’s vision is that no one should have to face death or bereavement without appropriate care and support. The aim of the Foundation is to facilitate the practice of hospice care in all its aspects and this is achieved by working independently or in partnership with the statutory, voluntary and professional bodies concerned with palliative care in Ireland. MSc in Bereavement Studies This two year, part-time programme is designed to equip participants with an understanding of the theory and practice of approaches to bereavement and loss. The programme is open to health professionals in the acute care and community settings. Certificate in Children & Loss This course is designed to provide participants with theoretical content, skills training and experiential work in this important area.

Community Engagement The Institute of Leadership is actively involved in a number of Community Engagement initiatives which support healthcare professionals in developing countries. This includes the RCSI Council of Surgeons in East, Central and Southern Africa (COSECSA) programme which aims to improve the standards of surgical care, training, education and examinations. There are only 1,100 qualified surgeons for a population of 250 million people in the COSECSA region (9 countries) - a reminder of the considerable challenges facing healthcare professionals and leaders in developing countries. Over the past number of years our staff have supported the COSECSA programme by providing a number of leadership development and training programmes for surgical leaders. We believe that developing clinical leaders is key to improving patient care, services and long-term sustainability. We are also collaborating with Hanoi Medical University on a faculty development programme for their staff. Our plan is to increase the number of community engagement activities overseas and in Ireland in the coming year. 9
