The third edition of the project “Leaders for Excellence in Healthcare” was organized between October 13 and 28 and was backed by the Ministry of Health and the Maastricht and Sheffield Hallam Universities. The project was organized with the support of the Ministry of Investments and European Projects, the Health Committees of the Romanian Parliament, the Presidential Counselor for Public Health, Dr. Loreta Paun, and the Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Romania, E.S. Roelof van EES.
The courses were conducted online during a six-day period in October and were structured in three modules focused on the development of soft skills as well as technical skills: Funding sources for hospitals, Financing procedures and public procurement, Leadership and Communications, to better adjust to the needs of participants for improving the fundamental skills and knowledge for hospital management teams and to continuously adapt to current realities and day-to-day practice. At the same time, considering the current context, this year’s program also included an extra session dedicated to energy efficiency measures in hospitals and solutions for the protection of personal and medical data. The courses were held by lecturers from prestigious universities in the UK and the Netherlands, representatives of key health authorities, both at national and European level, of international financial institutions, as well as representatives of the private environment in Romania.
