Why you should take this course

Change brings opportunities for growth and innovation but it also threatens our existing way of doing things. Practices must respond to funding pressures, legal and geo-political changes, drives for efficiency and the need for new services and longer opening hours.

Supervisors and managers are often required to implement these changes and success depends on the support given by managers to staff. This course will enable you to manage change processes more effectively and lead people positively through change.
