NSW Health operates in a fast-paced, vibrant ecosystem necessitating outstanding customer service and superior clinical expertise. HETI provides NSW Health organisations with award-winning, evidence-based education to support high-functioning, collaborative and supportive environments for individuals and teams.
The Leadership and Management Programs throughout this document offer an opportunity to enrich NSW Health leaders’ and managers’ lives by developing a culture of mutual respect and value-based health care. The programs are underpinned by the NSW Health Leadership and Management Framework and are aligned to the NSW Public Sector Capability Framework and the NSW State Health Plan: Towards 2021 priority of ‘Supporting and Developing our Workforce’.
HETI consults and collaborates with NSW Health organisations to strategically meet local needs, working together to support staff moving through their career journeys. The programs fall into three streams of development: the People Management Series, the Finance and Business Management Series and the Leadership Development Series.

BACKGROUNDMore than 2.2 million people live in rural NSW, 28% of the NSW population.
Seven out of 15 Local Health Districts (LHDs) are comprised of mostly rural areas, covering more than 775,000 square kilometres.
The Satellite Classroom approach supports the delivery of the NSW Rural Health Plan Strategy One: Enhance the Rural Workforce. This focuses on attracting and retaining a skilled workforce to deliver quality health care services for rural and remote communities.
APPROACHHETI partners with NSW Health organisations to implement the Satellite Classroom, an innovative remote delivery model.
The Satellite Classroom utilises eLearning synchronous technology and interactive learner engagement software to connect participants in one location with those in another.
Two or more classrooms in different locations run simultaneously.
OUTCOMESPast participants agree that attending a supported Satellite Classroom provided them with the same learning experience as a face-to-face classroom.
Geographical location need not impact access to education and training.
The technology available can be utilised to provide a flexible, interactive learning experience for staff in rural health services.

WHO ARE THE PROGRAMS DESIGNED FOR?The HETI Leadership and Management Programs provide ongoing professional development to all NSW Health staff. From front-line employees and emerging managers to future executives, the programs nurture, empower and support high-functioning teams.
HOW ARE THE PROGRAMS DELIVERED?Programs are delivered state-wide using a range of flexible right-place, right-time methodologies:
Face-to-face workshops – designed with adult learning principles in mind, to encourage meaningful application to participants’ work.
Satellite Classroom – through an innovative eLearning synchronous model, participants in one location can connect with participants in another location, at the same time, and supported by a HETI facilitator.
eLearning via My Health Learning – enabling participants to learn at their own pace at a time that suits.
Webinars – shorter training opportunities, providing time for discussion and advice to implement learning in the workplace.
Pre- and post-work – enhancing learning, includes videos, readings, personal reflection and applying program learning.
Self-evaluation tools – research literature highlights that self-awareness and self-assessment are integral to leadership and management development. Some programs include validated tools such as 360-degree feedback, the Strengths Finder 2.0 and the Thomas Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI).
EVALUATIONHETI recognises that monitoring and evaluation is vital to ensure training delivery is appropriate for participants and that training achieves its intended objectives and learning outcomes. The process is underpinned by an evaluation framework where data is collected and analysed in a systematic way:
Participant feedback – measures the extent to which a program’s aims have been achieved and if any changes in participants’ behaviour can be attributed to program content and activities via participant feedback surveys.
Formal evaluation – assesses whether the programs are appropriate for their intended audiences and assess the quality of implementation.
SUSTAINABILITYOur approach to sustainability spans across every aspect of our products, services, staff and facilities. Aligning to this philosophy, the Leadership and Management Programs are delivered within a paper-lite principle; using digital resources and minimising paper, where possible.
IS THERE A COST?The programs are state-funded and available to all staff of NSW Health.

CORE CHAT PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The CORE (Collaboration, Openness, Respect, Empowerment) Chat Program consists of two half-day face-to-face workshops, one for all staff and one for people managers. It has been implemented across NSW Health organisations since 2016.
The Program is used to support cultural change through improving communication skills in the way we identify issues, enter into dialogue with one another and manage feedback, both providing and receiving.
The Program has proved suitable for clinical and administrative environments.
The success of the Program is in its simplicity; it provides staff with a common language tool and focuses on forward-looking, mutually acceptable solutions.
Some Health organisations have requested a whole of service or whole of organisation roll-out of the Program, to support their cultural transformation strategies.
The Program was a finalist at the 2017 NSW Health Innovation Awards in the category ‘Supporting Our Staff’.
“I found the session really valuable. Since the session, there have been a few CORE chats happening within our department, which is very positive.”

The course can be tailored to the strategic needs of individual NSW Health organisations. The content provides an opportunity for employees who make resourcing decisions to gain a basic understanding of financial reports and terminology. Some NSW
Health organisations have nominated this as a fundamental course for all their NSW Health employees, no matter their role. Many Health organisations choose to open the training session with a brief address from their own Finance/ Business senior representative.
This is a foundation course. Cost-centre managers, or managers with some knowledge and experience of managing a cost centre, are recommended to enrol in the Financial Management Essentials course (page 34).
MANAGING HEALTH RESOURCES: A FOUNDATIONAn increasing focus on fiscal management means NSW Health employees require the skills and knowledge to ensure and promote financial integrity and accountability.

The HLP is an organisational development intervention supporting an organisation’s strategic transformation initiative. Participants work on strategic challenges while they develop their capacity to collaborate, consider multiple perspectives and adaptively lead, regardless of their positional level or authority.
The Program is underpinned by the five Leadership Domains in the NSW Health Leadership and Management Framework, designed as a catalyst for developmental change in individuals and as a scaffold for the construction of new forms of leadership in health
care organisations. Accompanying these domains are the core concepts of adaptive, collective and relational leadership.
The Program includes seven workshops, work in Strategic Challenge Teams on identified challenges, peer learning in Leadership Development Triangles and a range of self-assessment tools.
NSW Health organisations who are actively undergoing strategic transformation are invited to host a Program. Participants are selected from a wide cross-section of staff and include a mix of clinicians and non-clinicians.
NSW HEALTH LEADERSHIP PROGRAM (HLP)The Garling Report* recommended that increased collaboration across clinical and non-clinical teams, departments, functions and hierarchies throughout NSW Health organisations would have a positive impact on strategic transformation efforts, aimed at achieving improved outcomes for consumers. * Special Commission of Inquiry Acute Care Services in NSW Public Hospitals, Peter Garling SC (2008)

NSW HEALTH SENIOR EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (SEDP)To meet future challenges NSW Health must have leaders who can lead organisations and people in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world. Cutting edge senior leadership requires the skills to lead adaptively, collectively and relationally with a clear vision.
“This Program is unique in so many ways. The learnings, whilst structured, were practical and applicable. The facilitated challenges throughout the Program provided a very real but safe to fail environment. The support of the faculty and the other participants made this Program exceptional. I walked away invigorated after each module and was able to apply my learnings in my role and in my placement.”

Audience NSW Health staff whose role necessitates facilitation skills
Delivery Facilitator accreditation occurs in situ, during an individual’s facilitation activities
Facilitation development workshops are delivered throughout the year at the request of NSW Health organisations or participants can enrol in a centralised course
Duration and elements
Facilitator accreditation occurs through observation in real-life, ‘on-the-job’ facilitation activities, evaluated against the NSW Health Facilitation Standards by Band-specific accredited facilitators
Facilitator accreditation – dependent upon the number and length of facilitation events; each NSW Health Facilitation Standard must be demonstrated through observation, journaling and/ or interview
Facilitation development – 2-day Core Skills workshop and 1-(Yellow), 2-(Blue), or 3-(Black)-day Band specific workshops
Face-to-face and experiential learning, on-the-job application, collaborative workshops and group activities, feedback and evaluation and a community of practice – networking with participants from diverse health settings
FCAP originates from the NSW Health Facilitation Standards. The Program supports the development of best practice facilitation skills within the NSW Health workforce.
The Standards are operationalised by three ‘Bands’ representing facilitation context: content-focused (Yellow), process-focused with teams and groups (Blue) and process-focused in complex contexts at system and organisational levels (Black).
FCAP is made up of two components:
Facilitator Accreditation – formal recognition of existing facilitation capability at the Yellow, Blue, or Black Band. Accreditation assessment occurs through observation, reflection entries and interview.
Facilitation Development – facilitation skills development for those new to facilitation or those with facilitation experience who want to extend their theoretical knowledge and their skill sets.
Examples of Facilitation activity Bands:
Yellow Band – Content-focused activities such as instructional training, bedside teaching, practice-based inquiry
Blue Band – Process-focused activities with groups and teams, such as focus groups, mediation, team meetings, team effectiveness
Black Band – Process-focused activities for complex contexts at the organisational and system levels, such as strategic planning, culture change, clinical reviews
FACILITATION CAPABILITY ACCREDITATION PROGRAM (FCAP)Broadly defined, facilitation enables learning and supports progress on difficult and complex issues. Most obviously this can include the development of knowledge and skills. It can also include supporting the emergence of learning, insights and cultural change at the team, organisational and systems levels within clinical and non-clinical contexts. Enriched communication and facilitation skills will always enhance patient care and well-being. Effective facilitators create psychologically-safe environments for learning and ensure the purpose for a facilitated event is clear to participants.
“The session exceeded my expectations and captured my attention throughout. I benefited from this not only professionally but also personally.”

THE FRAMEWORK DESCRIBES LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT IN TERMS OF SIX DOMAINS:
Leadership is presented in Domains 1-5 and Domain 6 refers to Management.
For each domain a set of capabilities is defined and for each capability there is a set of behavioural descriptors. The intention is to point to the kinds of specific observable actions associated with effective leadership in a health care context.
