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.

SATELLITE CLASSROOMProviding equitable access to education and training for NSW Health staff in rural and remote communities.

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.”

“This workshop was well overdue for me. It was valuable because I gained more skills in people management, and confidence when delivering or faced with conflict in the workplace.”

Mid North Coast Local Health District participant, October 2018

In this course, managers gain positive skills and strategies to grow collaboration and respect within their teams, learning how to effectively communicate and confidently resolve conflict. Participants are encouraged to reflect on their attitudes towards conflict, understanding how it can create a positive opportunity for growth and cultural change.

The course considers why conflict exists and how our beliefs, values and culture can cause different reactions in a situation.

Participants explore the importance of effective communication when addressing conflict through problem-solving activities to proactively create a conflict-resilient workplace. Managers are encouraged to build positive relationships and strong communication with high levels of trust, adopt early intervention strategies and develop tools to intervene in conflict to enable appropriate responses.

POSITIVELY RESOLVING WORKPLACE CONFLICTManagers are responsible for proactively encouraging all staff to address conflict in the workplace and to be a catalyst for change, creating a respectful and open environment.

Using NSW Health scenarios and team-based activities, participants develop strategies and skills to improve decision making about rostering, procurement and other expenditure related processes.

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.

1-day face-to-face workshop

This course supports a proactive, evidence-based approach to ensure NSW Health managers prepare strong, well-researched business cases. A strategically-linked business idea articulated through an effective business case can make a difference to the organisation, the team and patients.

The course considers the principles and skills required to develop a successful business case within NSW Health organisations. The pre-course activity requires participants to consider a business case they may need to develop. During the course, participants are provided with the skills and knowledge to prepare the content and format of an effective business case.

EFFECTIVE BUSINESS CASE DESIGNIn order to promote and support innovation and change, decision makers often require a robust business case.

“The course has given me an in-depth and broader view of what is required for a successful business case. It assisted me with recognising relevant stakeholders and looking at positive cost ideas with well-researched risk and financial information included in a free-flowing, easy to understand format.”

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)

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.”
