ABCD-YDEF-Consultant Development Programme
ABCD - YDEF - Consultant Development Programmes is a new exciting collaboration between the ABCD and YDEF to reinvigorate the learning the nonclinical aspects of being a consultant. This replaces the YDEF led King's Fund Management Course. It will be held for a week from the 23rd to the 27th
November in Birmingham (exact location tbc.)
Register for this leadership course here.
This is the only D&E specific leadership and management course. It has been organised by the ABCD to support the competencies from the Medical
Consultant Leadership Framework. For the first time our leadership course is being accredited by the Institute of Learning and Management. This means
that by submitting a piece of work (such as a service improvement/educational initiative) you will be assessed for the ILM level 5 award. Geared to doctors
in their final year of training and newly appointed consultants, this stimulating and experiential programme will prepare you well for the next transition in
your career.
Places are limited to ensure a dynamic and interactive group.
Only ABCD members can be allocated places. Membership fees for ABCD are £75 per year and membership gives you discounted registration for ABCD
scientific sessions. Please note: ABCD membership numbers cannot be given instantly and may take a few weeks. If the course is oversubscribed we will
give priority to those in their final year of training and those newly appointed consultants.
The cost per head is over £1500. We are able to offer it to YDEF and ABCD members for £250 including accommodation and meals (you will need to fund
your own travel expenses). We will send you the details of how to pay once you apply.
A place will only be confirmed once the YDEF team have verified YDEF and ABCD membership. Priority will be given to trainees in their final year of training
that submit complete applications and cheques.
The course is being developed by Dr Dev Singh, Consultant Physician & Clinical Director of IT (Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust), Associate Postgraduate
Medical Dean (Health Education West Midlands). He has lead and runs the highly succesful ABCD National Diabetes Consultant Mentorship Programme .
From the YDEF, Ali Chakera is helping organise the course and any enquiries should be made directly to Ali in the first instance.
