Mining Hidden Gems – 2018 PSEL Evaluation
The Leadership Academy, in conjunction with the Academy for Healthcare Science, has published its Practical Skills in Education and Leadership (PSEL) Evaluation Report of the four-day interactive, experiential programme that is designed to equip and empower healthcare scientists with the relevant leadership knowledge and skills, so that they play their full role in the system.
In addition, healthcare scientists (HCS) who joined the programme become part of a PSEL alumni network which promotes peer support and the sharing of good practice. Funded by the Leadership Academy, this 2018 nationwide programme integrates theory and practice, equipping scientists with up to 30 different tools to develop their leadership capacity; these include coaching techniques, support teaching, development of self-awareness through Myers-Briggs, and an understanding of the broader landscape, structures and direction of policy. The PSEL programme has been running for three years and has benefited more than 200 healthcare scientists from eight different regions of England.
