A crisis can occur when you least expect it. It’s usually a case of when, not if. The important question is ‘Are you ready, capable of dealing with the range of possible scenarios that could threaten your business, no matter how unlikely you think they might be to occur to achieve the best possible outcome for your stakeholders and your organisation’? Preparing for a crisis is like preparing for your most important game day. It takes strategy, practice, discipline, team building and perhaps most importantly, commitment. Prior to the workshop, participants will have an opportunity to complete a crisis audit, based on the ISO 22301 standard, to assess the areas of compliance and non-compliance within their organisation. During this workshop, participants will explore and discuss best practice crisis principles and look that the components of a useful and functional crisis response plan and crisis communication plan. The content of this component will relate back to the audit completed by the participants. Working in teams, participants will put theory into practice by being immersed in a realistic simulation exercise, based on a cyber security breach within the health sector.
This course covers:
- completing a crisis audit, a crisis response plan template and a crisis communication plan template
- understanding of what your organisation needs to do to improve its level of preparedness
- enhancing your understanding of crisis management theories
- applying your knowledge immediately in your workplace
- joining a network of medical managers
- participating in continuing your professional development
You should attend if you:
- are likely to be part of a crisis, or, critical incident response team
- require an awareness of crisis management key terms and concepts
- are interested in understanding emergency planning and crisis management
- have career aspirations for medical leadership roles
