Introduction

Change and transitions are a fact of life. They occur all the time and can evoke a range of emotions, from optimism and excitement to fear and anxiety. Change is an event whereas transition is the psychological process that occurs during a change. Healthcare is constantly facing change from the impact of technological advances such as electronic record-keeping, updated treatment protocols and updates to evidence-based practice. Whether you are in a small private practice or working for a large hospital organisation, managing and leading change, and more importantly the transitions involved in the change, is a vital skill. Various models have been created to help better manage and lead change and transition processes. This course will describe and define change and transition as well as differentiate between them. It will explore a variety of models of change and transition as well as a method for assessing change readiness. It will finally guide you through practical applications of the models focused around rehabilitation.

Suppose your family, employer, or organization goes through change and transition on any scale. This course offers good resources on how to effectively carry out the change and work through transition, both from the perspective of going through the change and helping other people successfully navigate the change and transition process.

Understanding the change process using Kotters 8 steps of change has enabled me to acknowledge the challenge of implementing change in an organization. Although this is important for improving performance, it is a process that should be well planned and supported by a leader. Handling transitions are equally important when dealing with change. Thanks!

Super Course! It will certainly be changing the way I implement small and large changes, and help me where I am getting stuck, and why. I have recommended it to several colleagues

I really recommend this programme. All the leadership modules are amazing and really beneficial. I thought in a few situations in my practice that I am doing something wrong and I was blaming myself. However, after I went through these modules I saw the situations from a different perspective and received many new ideas for better management.
