COURSE OVERVIEW
The HELM course is a 2 day management course designed for senior medical trainees (ST5+) who wish to understand more about the function of the NHS, the non-clinical management roles undertaken as a hospital consultant and to improve their job application and interview skills.
The course is delivered by a faculty of experienced senior clinicians and current NHS managers to a group of 16 delegates at Harrogate District Hospital and encompasses topics such as Finance and Commissioning, Current NHS Policy, Hospital Performance and includes Business Case preparation, Governance and Serious incident investigation as well as job application skill workshops.
“Excellent speakers with a wide range of experience and knowledge. A very useful course to understand the structure of the NHS and how a hospital is managed. Very good value for money – I would highly recommend”
