Tuesday 1 October
| Supervisor Workshop
10:30am – 5:00pm No Charge Onsite Attendees Only Professor Pooshan Navathe For Supervisors and Preceptors – If you have a new candidate joining in 2025, this is for you! From 2025 and the RACMA FTP 2025 will have a raft of changes that will require a new set of skills, and understanding of process on the part of the supervisors and preceptors. This workshop will explore various aspects of the renewed Training Program, and the changes to the Supervisor’s role. It will emphasise the use of Feedback and Reflective Practice, and describe ways in which the new 360 tool will work, and the role of the supervisors and preceptors in that process. The contents of the workshop will benefit ALL supervisors and preceptors – whether or not they have a new candidate. The session is a combination of presentations, discussion and interactive activities. We have over 150 slots available, to enable all interested to attend. CPD Points: 6 |
Candidate Workshop | Conflict Competence – Leading and Managing in the Messy Real World of Rural Health
10:30am – 5:00pm No Charge Onsite Attendees Only Andrew Johnson Candidates only. The Challenge In healthcare, we now know that escalated conflict and incivility not only erode our team performance and our enjoyment of work but can have profound impact on patient safety and clinical outcomes. Cohesion is critical to safe care, conflict competence is how we get there. The Opportunity Read More Negotiation is one of the most common of human activities and yet we are taught very little about how it works and how we can get better at it. We will explore the art of negotiation and develop a better understanding of our own styles and how to flex our style to match the situation at hand. We will explore the concept of Interest-Based negotiation, approaches to negotiation that create value, rather than just distribute value. That is, we will learn how to “increase the size of the pie” rather than share the pie on the basis of “more for you is less for me”. You will walk away with a better understanding of yourself, how you interact with others, and how you can improve those interactions, and help others to improve theirs. Our focus will be on your real world, with a program tailored to the needs to the health leader. We will talk about the challenges of working in teams, the dynamics of health communities, dealing with the revolving doors of leaders, and with the entrenched personalities. The Program
Your Facilitator Through those years, Andrew made most of the mistakes there are to make, and then had to fix his own mess, so learnt a thing or two along the way. Perhaps unsurprisingly, his work drove him to developing a better understanding of conflict, and how to generate more cohesion in the system. In 2022, Andrew completed a Masters of Conflict Management and Resolution and is now a certified conflict coach and mediator. After leaving Townsville in 2022, Andrew moved to Brisbane, working extensively with Defence, running a leadership development program for Metro North, and has set up a private consulting practice Resilient Healthcare Solutions. He has recently been appointed as Principal Consultant to the Surgeon General of the Australian Defence Force in the domain of Force Health Protection and promoted to the rank of Air Commodore… his fanciest title yet.
