Welcome to class

Hello class and welcome to the class and I will be your instructor for this course. This is a -week course and requires a lot of time commitment, organization, and a high level of dedication. Please use the class syllabus to guide you through all the assignments required for the course. I have also attached the classroom policies to this announcement to know your expectations for this course. Please review this document carefully and ask me any questions if you do. You could email me at any time or send me a message via the “message” icon in halo if you need to contact me. I check my email regularly, so you should get a response within 24 hours. If you have not heard from me within 24 hours and need to contact me urgently, please send a follow up text to

I strongly encourage that you do not wait until the very last minute to complete your assignments. Your assignments in weeks 4 and 5 require early planning as you would need to present a teaching plan and interview a community health provider. I advise you look at the requirements for these assignments at the beginning of the course and plan accordingly. I have posted the YouTube link that explains all the class assignments in detail. It is required that you watch this 32-minute video as the assignments from week 3 through 5 require that you follow the instructions to the letter to succeed. Failure to complete these assignments according to instructions might lead to a zero. After watching the video, please schedule a one-on-one with me to discuss your topic for your project by the second week of class. Use this link to schedule a 15-minute session. Please, call me at the time of your appointment on my number. Please note that I will NOT call you.

Please, be advised I do NOT accept any assignments by email. If you are having technical issues with uploading an assignment, contact the technical department and inform me of the issue. If you have any issues that would prevent you from getting your assignments to me by the deadline, please inform me to request a possible extension. Note that working fulltime or overtime is no excuse for late assignments. There is a 5%-point deduction for every day your assignment is late. This only applies to approved extensions. Late assignments will not be accepted.

If you think you would be needing accommodations due to any reasons, please contact the appropriate department to request accommodations.

Plagiarism is highly prohibited. Please ensure you are citing your sources correctly using APA 7th edition. All assignments including discussion posts should be formatted in APA with the appropriate spacing, font, margin, and indents. Any papers not well formatted would be returned back to you, hence, I advise you review APA formatting style. I have attached a sample paper in APA format and will also post sample discussion responses in subsequent announcements.

Your initial discussion post should be a minimum of 200 words and response posts should be a minimum of 150 words. Be advised that I grade based on quality and not necessarily the number of words you post. A minimum of TWO references should be used for your initial post. For your response post, you do not need references as personal experiences would count as response posts. If you however cite anything from the literature for your response post, it is required that you cite your reference. You should include a minimum of THREE references for papers in this course. Please note that references should be no more than 5 years old except recommended as a resource for the class. Furthermore, for each discussion board question, you need ONE initial substantive response and TWO substantive responses to either your classmates or your instructor for a total of THREE responses. There are TWO discussion questions each week, hence, you need a total minimum of SIX discussion posts for each week. I usually post a discussion question each week. You could also respond to these as it would count towards your required SIX discussion posts for the week.

I understand this is a lot of information to cover in 5 weeks, however, the Bible says in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us. Even in times like this, we are encouraged by God’s word that we have that ability in us to succeed with His strength. I pray that each and every one of you receives strength for this course and life generally as we navigate through this pandemic that is shaking our world today. Relax and enjoy the course!

Since the dawn of clinical medicine there have always been
leaders inspiring future generations of clinicians and academics.
These leaders were invariably viewed as highly charismatic, but
potentially also arrogant and unchallengeable in their decisionmaking processes. Indeed this forms the basis of the ingrained
hierarchies that have always existed in clinical medicine. This
form of dictatorial leadership is difficult to justify in modern
healthcare settings where organizations are comprised of complex interactions between a large number of professionals with
multiple roles to fulfil.

However, the concept of the changing role of clinicians in
managing patients at the bedside to possessing important
managerial roles in healthcare organizations is not a modern

one. The Cogwheel report of 1967 called for greater involvement
of clinicians in management. During the 1970s and 1980s hospitals were run by consensus management. This gave tremendous power to those in authority and this could work well, but
because decisions could be easily vetoed, often no decisions were
ever made.
The Griffiths report in 1983 fundamentally changed how
healthcare organizations are run, with organizational structures
aligned more closely to that of the corporate sector. Multiple tiers
of management have subsequently been introduced to healthcare
organizations over the last 30 years. All hospital trusts within the
NHS are managed by executive boards, charged with making
recommendations on organizational development and policy that
are implemented by layers of middle management. The board,
and in particular its chief executive, is accountable to the
Department of Health (and the Secretary of State for Health), and
hence require individuals who possess considerable management and leadership skills.
As a result of this, in recent years there has been an unprecedented interest in developing clinical leaders in the NHS. One
major driver for this was the publication of Lord Darzi’s Next
Stage Review1 in 2008. This emphasized the need to invest in and
promote the development of clinical leadership programmes,
with the aim of eventually allowing clinicians to have more
control over policy and budgets within their organizations.
Another important factor has been the unprecedented pursuit of
increased efficiency and productivity in an increasingly overburdened healthcare system. This requires effective leadership at
all levels within healthcare organizations and cannot simply be
solved by a top-down approach. Lastly there has been an
important drive to improve the quality of healthcare provision,
and this fundamentally requires ‘change’ to occur, with clinical
leaders acting as agents of change.
