3 UNDERPINNING THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK The Program draws on a number of disciplines (including education, psychology, management and Practice Development - see Module 1), in enabling and supporting participants to improve safety and clinical quality within the NSW health system. The following framework, adapted from a model by Miller (2003), outlines key dimensions and related skills that underpin effective clinical leadership. The framework is relevant to both formats of the CTLP and acknowledges that to be an effective clinical leader, requires relevant knowledge (theoretical and technical expertise), direction (vision), strategy (goal setting) and behaviour (outcomes). The CTLP addresses these four elements by outlining key theoretical concepts (knowledge), facilitating strategies for improved performance (strategy), exploring the effectiveness of particular attributes (behaviour) and outlining a vision (direction) of improved patient safety and staff morale.

4 THE NSW HEALTH LEADERSHIP FRAMEWORK The CTLP has now been mapped to the NSW Health Framework (HETI, 2013). The model (figure 2.2) frames leadership in terms of five domains: Achieving outcomes Developing and leading self Engaging people and building relationships Partnering and collaborating across boundaries Transforming the system. For each domain a set of four capabilities is defined and for each capability a set of three behavioural descriptors. The intention is to point to the kinds of specific observable actions associated with effective leadership in a health care context.

5 PROGRAM COMPONENTS The CLP draws on a variety of methodologies, models and tools to foster increased knowledge, strategies, direction and effective behaviour. The following diagrams outline key components, as seen through the perspective of a CLP facilitator and participant 1.
