Future-proof your workforce by reframing allied health roles.

In this self-paced online course designed and facilitated by Dr Susan Nancarrow, explore the practical facilitators of, and barriers to, task reallocation between health professional roles; and between health professional roles and the delegated workforce. This insightful online course is designed to help you navigate and expand your professional scope within healthcare.

Every health profession is currently grappling with shortages. Compounded by a complex health care system and a unique context of global circumstances, there is an imperative to look at solving existing workforce shortages with new and different solutions. Reframing Professional Boundaries will explore the individual and structural factors that unconsciously limit workforce capacity. By understanding these constraints, we can uncover opportunities and drivers for change. We will focus on sustainability, future challenges, and how to utilise our existing workforce and skills in order to more effectively meet patient needs.

What you'll get from this course:

Structured Process: Understand your professional identity and the factors shaping and reinforcing your boundaries.
Organisational Insight: Grasp how your role fits within your organisation and navigate relationships, governance, and power structures.
Practical Examples: Real-world scenarios illustrating how to drive change and improve healthcare delivery.
Role Redefinition: Explore possibilities for rethinking professional roles to enhance healthcare delivery.
Implementation Tools: Structured tools to help you initiate and implement changes.
Exclusive Online Access: Your learning will be supported with 6-months' access to all Reframing Professional Boundaries resources, plus 2 hours consultation with Dr Nancarrow.

By the end of the course, you will be empowered with the understanding and tools you need to redesign allied health professional roles. You will be equipped with an outline strategy which can be further developed and refined in consultation with Susan. Reframing Professional Boundaries is transformative, hands-on, and will ultimately allow you to optimise your knowledge and skills to deliver patient care in the best possible manner.

In addition to the Reframing Professional Boundaries course, you will receive 6 months of access to the learning materials and a repository of key resources to support your continued learning and growth.

This course is ideal for:

Individual Clinicians wanting to overcome organisational barriers and work to their full scope of practice.
Professional Groups seeking greater recognition for their roles and responsibilities.
Professional Groups aiming to expand their professional repertoire into new areas.
Team Leaders or Clinicians looking to redesign models of care to better meet patient needs.
Anyone interested in understanding how professional roles are constructed and reinforced within health organisations and systems.

Despite current healthcare challenges, including global workforce shortages, population changes, and technological innovations, healthcare systems are still primarily structured around outdated models and hierarchies rather than individual competence. Moreover, healthcare focusses predominantly on an illness model, rather than prevention and restoration. By joining Reframing Professional Boundaries, you'll be better prepared for future challenges, learn how to recognise and identify specific skills and expertise of allied health professionals, and focus on creating new career pathways for your existing healthcare workers.
