Essential Management Skills Programme (EMSP) 

About the Programme

Healthcare professionals today must be prepared to contend with rising expectations in their work. This may be especially challenging for new graduates who are just embarking on their professional careers. The Essential Management Skills Programme (EMSP) was developed to ease this transition for junior healthcare professionals new to the workforce.

The EMSP was developed based on a learning need analysis exercise that sought to identify key challenges faced by new healthcare employees. The analysis identified three key competency areas for development: Self-Awareness, Personal Resilience and Conflict Management. To incorporate Interprofessional Education (IPE) into the programme, an Interprofessional Collaborative Practice (IPCP) workshop was also included in the EMSP curriculum.
