It is a pre-course requirement that delegates must be a qualified clinician or have held a senior role in medical device or pharma industry for

five years. This course is a vocational qualification, enabling the delegates to improve their ability to present, instruct, and demonstrate

clinical/technical skills to others. It is achievement of a medical degree and other appropriate graduate qualifications including professional

C D that provides the required ecognised prior learning which in turn contributes to the number of education credits available and

informs the ost raduate status of this qualification as a short course.

Conceptual understanding that enables the student:• To evaluate critically current research and advanced scholarship in

the discipline

• To evaluate methodologies and develop critiques of them and, where appropriate, to propose new hypotheses

C kills is expanding its portfolio of class-leading trainingprogrammes by introducing a new rain irst course forprofessionals in the healthcare sector.The initiative will see the company form a partnership withresearch scientist and clinical educator Denise Cafarelli Deeswith the aim of turbo-charging your brain power .

The rain irst course is a professional development programme which will result in theawarding of a ostgraduate Diploma in uman actors and Neuroscience to the successfulcandidates.The aim of the course is to enable clinical teams or sales teams from medical devicecompanies to make better decisions for greater impact with more effective engagement.

ne of the revolutionary aspects of the programme will be the focus on demonstrating thefact that the activity of the brain and its physical characteristics change when decisions aremade or ideas conceived.t is this awareness or having the brain in mind that will result in better decision-making,a greater understanding of patients requirements and an enhanced ability to interact withcolleagues.

ituational awareness, external engagement, communications leadership, relationshipinfluencing and inner and outer improvement are some of the core principles explored bythe course.

ptimal functioning is the global goal as is the avoidance of brain overload , which canadversely affect decision-making and professional performance.

ur brains have tremendous capacity to learn. ow training is delivered and the learningenvironment in which it is delivered impact on the mental capacity to transfer newlyacquired knowledge and skills. rain friendly changes to the way training is delivered canimprove the opportunity for the transfer of learning.To date, two pilot courses on decision-making have been presented by C kills andDenise Cafarelli Dees, of rain irst, to individuals working in the healthcare industry.And 1 experienced Cochlear mplant surgeons from across urope, the iddle ast andAfrica who were participating in a course on complex case management en oyed a firstsession on the Neuroscience of Decision aking and atient ducation in the clinicalmanagement of patients with complex needs or who present with challenging surgicalissues.Decision-making is in the locus of someone s control. They have the power to breakpatterns of behaviour simply by making better decisions. They can change their mind andactions at any time, even when they re stuck in a cycle of rut-like thinking.

aving a better understanding of the neuroscience behind decision-making helps peoplemake decisions that lead to improved outcomes.
