NHSLA.NAT.365 GMTS Experiential Learning Actors (September 2022 Intake)

"The Graduate Management Training Scheme (GMTS) modular Experiential Learning Programme is offered as part of a wider package of work-based placement, academic learning and leadership development in support of the development of trainees as leaders of the future in the fields of General Management, Human Resource Management, Finance, Health Analysis, Health Informatics, and Policy & Strategy. The Experiential Learning elements of the scheme are delivered by the Academy's Faculty, with all other scheme elements delivered by our University partners. The Experiential Learning programme is focused on developing the capacity of trainees to explore, enhance, adapt and broaden their own leadership understanding, styles and behaviours in addition to providing them with the necessary skills and tools they need to be effective managers and emerging leaders in their current and future roles. It is delivered as a series of modular residential experiences, offered on a 1, 2 or 3-day basis dependent upon the depth and breadth of the design, content and subject area being explored. The specification seeks to put in place the additional Actor-Facilitator requirements across the Experiential Learning modules (outlined below), for the September 2022 cohort, as follows: LOT 1: Module 1 (actors required on Day 3 of Experiential Learning) Topic: Getting Started This is the first experiential learning module participants will have encountered since they started the scheme in September 2022. The module will take place in December 2022, face to face. Module one has 5 key objectives:

• To introduce the concept and approach of experiential learning • To establish the cohort as a learning community where people know one another and are able to support and challenge each other • To increase their understanding of the NHS through 4 different lenses - health policy, equality, diversity & inclusion, front line clinical care and finance • To increase their awareness of, and develop skills to increase, personal resilience • To increase their personal impact (day three) - this day is where we need actors

The module runs over the course of three days, the first day is focused on understanding understanding experiential learning, understanding each other and understanding the NHS from the perspective of health policy EDI. Day two continues the exploration of the NHS through the lenses of finance and direct clinical care before moving on to considering how they protect and enhance their personal resilience. The final day is about building practical skills to thrive and survive in the health and care system, with a focus on increasing their personal impact in the virtual and face to face environments. Over the course of the three days, they will be working with several different professionals and in different group sizes.
