Managing Performance to Increase Productivity with our Quality Training

Management is ultimately about getting things done through others. Without a structured and clear approach to managing performance, where employees know what is expected of them and how they should approach their role, a manager is unable to effectively meet the level of productivity that is required. This will reflect badly on them and can impact on their own development. 

Therefore, managing performance can be one of the single most important things for a manager to get right. This requires a goal-focused, common-sense approach to working with employees that ensures they are motivated and focused on success.

These ‘Managing Performance’ training course materials will provide you with everything you need to develop the skills and build the confidence of your management audience.

Guiding High Performers – Establishing boundaries, creating opportunities, giving feedback and knowing when to praise. 

Managing Conflict and Discipline – Resolving conflict issues and embracing the opportunity disagreement can provide. Looking at the key components of discipline and following a set structure for implementation.

Understanding specific words and terms used in the healthcare sector is an absolute must if you are looking to progress in this profession. Once you have a basic understanding of how medical words are constructed they become easy to understand and use are internationally used by nurses, doctors, allied healthcare professionals, dentists and many other medical specialities.
If you're interested in pursuing a health or science career then the requirement and ability to communicate in this way is a necessity.
In easy to follow modules, you'll find our user-friendly format will not only give you a solid foundation in medical language, but can be completed in less than a day (although you have up to 8 weeks to complete). Through well-written and concise rich text, pictures, diagrammes and downloadable support material, this course teaches you how to analyse individual medical word parts such as prefixes, suffixes and word roots.
Did you know that most of the medical terms are composed of interchangeable word parts that are used in different combinations? Once you know the various word roots, prefixes and suffixes, you'll be able to actually define a medical term that you're not familiar with by simply by recognising its individual parts. More importantly, you’ll be able to apply your new skills in this course when you apply for a job.
Once completed you will immediately be able to download your pass certificate. (Your new accredited certificate will be posted to you within 6-8 weeks.)
The nationally recognised and accredited certificate (awarded by the Open College Network) can be added to your existing certificate credit value (cumulative credits), and these may also count towards other similar college or university courses.
This course is supplements any medical or nursing course, however specific, and is open to anyone. At the end of each e-learning section you have up to 6 multiple choice questions to answer, with a passmark of 65%. You can re-sit each section 3 times.

He is also an expert in data protection, UK GDPR and on the civil legal aid scheme.Matthew is a lead trainer on and co-developed the LAPG Certificate in Practice Management (a training programme for legal managers and law firm owners) as well as regularly providing training on legal aid Supervision, costs maximisation, data protection and security and on general SRA compliance. &nbsp;

The LAA operates a strict compliance regime when it comes to auditing family controlled work matters, and mistakes can often result in a Contract Notice, corrective action, and further follow-up activity within 6 months. 

This course will discuss the various aspects of family controlled work billing, with discussions on topics such as how to bill private law, public law, and help with mediation matters; how to evidence whether substantive negotiations and a settlement have taken place in private law matters; how do the LAA audit travel and other disbursement claims; what evidence must be present on files to avoid any issues on audit – including scope, gateway evidence, and forms/evidence of means (rules on evidence of means will be included in brief, however, a separate, more in-depth Civil Means Assessment Guidance Course is available); and the rules on claiming separate matters and escape fees. 

Key aspects of the Civil Contract and associated LAA Guidance (including the Codes Guidance) will be included, along with a discussion of common errors that are made. 

Target Audience
This online course is aimed at anyone involved in billing Family Controlled Work matters or managing an LAA Family Contract. 
Resources
Course notes will be provided to all delegates which may be useful for ongoing reference or cascade training.

Please note a recording of the course will not be made available.
