The last few years have found the country and the world in uncharted waters dealing with the pandemic that is Covid and, while we are all having to adapt our lives, our NHS professionals have been on the front line daily, as they continue to battle the pandemic and try to keep our hospitals and emergency services operational.
With the success of ‘Medical Challenge’ growing over the last few years, Army Medical Services Reserve Scotland are looking to host the event again this year from 24 to 26 May in Cambuslang.
The event will consist of three, one-day packages of team-building, leadership and personal development and will include multiple teamwork-focused tasks, although predominately aimed at medical managers and clinical multidisciplinary teams – it is not an essential requirement. The day aims to develop individuals and team leadership, communication and medical management skills.
Army Medical Services (AMS) Reserve Scotland wants to continue to build on the successful opportunities already implemented by collaboration between NHS Scotland and the Army Medical Services Reserve. The majority of the members of Army Medical Services Reserve – both officers and soldiers – are healthcare professionals employed by NHS Scotland. The experience that these individuals receive as members of the AMS Reserves is extraordinary. They have access to some of the best continuing professional development (CPD) available. Medical Challenge is an excellent platform to showcase the competences as an AMS Reservist such as leadership, communication, problems solving, and organisational military and professional skills
