This Could Be Yours.** For general enquiries or booking your slot, contact us at: [info@mangates.com](info@mangates.com) +61 (0) 2 80155605 **Course Overview:** **Where Leadership Actually Shows Up** It's 7 a.m. on a busy ward. The handover is rushed, one nurse is already stretched thin, and a junior doctor hesitates before speaking up about a patient's changing condition. In that small pause, a decision either gets made with confidence, or it gets delayed. That pause is where leadership either shows up, or doesn't. And it's rarely about seniority. It's about whether someone has the skills to communicate clearly, make a sound decision, and hold a team together under pressure. **The Moment Leadership Actually Happens** Picture this: a newly promoted clinical coordinator walks into a multidisciplinary meeting. Instead of staying quiet, they use a structured handover, flag a risk early, and the team adjusts the care plan before it becomes a problem. That's not instinct. That's a skill, and it's exactly what this one-day workshop is built to teach. **How the Day Unfolds** * **Module 1: Foundations of Healthcare Leadership** — They learn the real difference between leadership and management in a clinical setting, and the behaviors patient-care environments actually demand. * **Module 2: Communication & Team Coordination** — They practice structured handovers using SBAR, closing the communication gaps that often form between disciplines. * **Module 3: Leading Multidisciplinary Teams** — They work through a role-play with nurses, doctors, and allied health staff, learning how trust and accountability actually get built across a team. * **Module 4: Clinical Decision-Making & Governance** — A case study puts them in the middle of a real decision, testing safe frameworks and basic governance principles under time pressure. * **Module 5: Patient Safety & Quality Improvement** — A simulation shows them exactly how leadership choices connect to patient safety outcomes, and how a reporting culture reduces errors. * **Module 6: Handling Workplace Challenges** — A group brainstorm surfaces real strategies for managing stress, burnout, and conflict without losing professionalism. * **Module 7: Leadership Growth & Action Planning** — By the end of the day, they aren't just reflecting on the day, they're building a concrete plan for their own leadership growth going forward. **What Changes By the End** Attendees leave able to: * Understand core principles of healthcare and clinical leadership * Improve communication and handover skills * Lead multidisciplinary teams effectively * Use structured frameworks for clinical decision-making * Apply governance and safety principles in daily work * Handle conflicts and workplace challenges professionally * Develop personal leadership behaviors and growth strategies * Strengthen teamwork and patient-centered leadership **Who Finds Themselves Here** * Junior doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals * Healthcare supervisors and team leads * Newly promoted clinical coordinators * Healthcare administrators and support staff * Students entering healthcare careers * Anyone transitioning into leadership roles in healthcare **Real Practice, Not Passive Listening** Every attendee works through role-play, case studies, and simulation, live, in the room. The scenario above isn't hypothetical, it reflects what clinical leaders face regularly, and what this workshop prepares them for. **Bring This to Your Organization** Picture an entire ward or department responding to pressure the same way, calm, coordinated, and clear. This workshop is available as a customized in-house session, on-site or virtual, with group pricing for healthcare organizations ready to build that capability together. 📧 Contact us today to schedule a customized in-house session: [corporate@mangates.com](mailto:corporate@mangates.com) **©2026 Mangates Tech Solutions Pvt Ltd.

Do I need prior leadership experience to attend?** No, this workshop is designed for anyone from junior clinicians to newly promoted coordinators, no formal leadership background required. **2\. Is this only for doctors and nurses?** Not at all, it's built for anyone in a healthcare setting, including allied health professionals, administrators, support staff, and students. **3\. Will I actually practice these skills\, or is this mostly lecture\-based?** You'll work through role-play, case studies, and simulation throughout the day, not passive listening. **4\. What if I struggle to speak up during handovers or team discussions?** Module 2 is built exactly for this, teaching structured communication using SBAR to close common communication gaps. **5\. Does the course cover real clinical decision\-making\, not just theory?** Yes, Module 4 uses a case study to put you in the middle of a real decision, testing safe frameworks under time pressure. **6\. How does this workshop connect leadership to patient safety specifically?** Module 5 uses a simulation to show exactly how leadership choices affect patient safety outcomes and reporting culture. **7\. What if managing team conflict or burnout is a bigger challenge for me than clinical skills?** Module 6 addresses this directly, covering strategies for managing stress, burnout, and conflict while maintaining professionalism. **8\. Is this suitable for someone newly promoted into a coordinator or team lead role?** Yes, the course is specifically designed with newly promoted clinical coordinators in mind. **9\. Can this be customized for our hospital or healthcare organization?** Yes, group sessions can be tailored to your organization and delivered on-site or virtually, with group pricing available. **10\.

SVI presents: Decoding the Future of Medical Research (National Science Week)

SVI presents: Decoding the Future of Medical Research (National Science Week)

Tue, Aug 18, 7:25 AM
From Melbourne Social
4.9

Join me for a fascinating evening exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping medical research — from predicting disease to designing more personalised treatments. This is a free National Science Week event hosted by St Vincent's Institute of Medical Research (SVI). It's hosted by technology commentator Steve Sammartino and features presentations from Associate Professor Davis McCarthy (a computational biologist and AI researcher) and Associate Professor Elizabeth Paratz (a cardiologist and clinician-scientist), followed by a panel discussion with experts working at the forefront of medical innovation. Together they'll dig into the opportunities, challenges and ethical questions around AI in healthcare. We'll meet at 5:25pm at the ticket scanning spot at the ACMD Building so we can head in together, then the presentations run from 5:30pm to 6:30pm. It's a short, punchy session — in and done within the hour. This is a casual social meetup arranged so we can go along together — it isn't run by, affiliated with, or endorsed by SVI. Please book your own free ticket directly with them; an RSVP here doesn't include entry. **Who this is for** * Anyone curious about AI, medicine, science or the future of healthcare — no background needed. * A relaxed, sit-and-listen event, so it's easy to come along solo. Solo attendees are very welcome. **Links** * Meetup start point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/KEFA24yuJCemgFX16 * Free tickets: https://events.humanitix.com/svi-presents-decoding-the-future-of-medical-research **Timeline** * 5:25pm – Meet at the ticket scanning spot at the ACMD Building and say hello * 5:30pm – Presentations begin * 6:30pm – Presentations wrap up and the meetup finishes **Tickets / cost** Please book your own ticket through the Humanitix link above — free events can still fill up, so grab yours early. Your Meetup RSVP is not a ticket. **Transport** The venue is at 27 Victoria Parade, Fitzroy, right on the edge of the CBD and well served by trams along Victoria Parade. If you're driving, allow time to sort out parking nearby. **Bring** * Your ticket (on your phone is fine) for scanning * Your curiosity and any questions for the panel **Expect** * Vibe: relaxed, informative, science-curious * Pace: an easy hour of talks and discussion * Group style: friendly and low-pressure, easy to join on your own **Important notes** * Please book your free ticket directly with SVI in advance — an RSVP here doesn't include entry. * If your plans change, please update your RSVP so numbers stay clear.
