Leading a Health Facility: The Health Director's Core Functions and Skills (Online / Remote)
1Summary
Being an excellent doctor and being able to run a health facility are two different skills — and a growing number of physicians are being asked to do both. Increasingly complex care, limited resources, and diverse teams have made it essential for health institutions to be run with real management strategy, not just clinical expertise. This Arab British Fellowship Training Academy course targets exactly that gap.
The course focuses on the health director’s core task: managing the entire facility while staying directly involved in patient care. It brings together leadership styles used in healthcare, the relationship between management and planning, how change and organisational structure interact, and how decisions get made under pressure — the full skill set a distinguished health director needs.
