Leadership Training

JCECC 賽馬會安寧頌計劃 > Specialised Training > Leadership Training

Tomorrow’s leaders in end-of-life care (EoLC) are expected to be effective, innovative, strategic and flexible in responding to the emerging challenges of global aging. The JCECC Leadership Training Programme 2017 aims to nurture a group of leaders in community EoLC. The programme will recruit leaders in the community to review the international best practices and standard of clinical excellence in community EoLC. The leaders will be exposed to the state-of-the art, evidence-based and innovative practices in quality community EoLC for patients and their family caregivers. The practice-based learning approach will empower leaders to develop EoLC services in their own work settings, through exemplary clinical care, international best practices, and evidence-based skills training.

Programme Objectives:

To empower Leaders with state-of-the-art, evidence based and best practices in quality care for patients and family caregivers, both locally and internationally
To enable Leaders to develop clinical and supervisory competencies in community EoLC
To facilitate Leaders to plan EoLC service programme appropriate to their respective work settings and to Hong Kong
