With the return of the Leadership, Business & Innovation (LBI) Practice Management Weekend Workshops, the ESCRS practice management team is delighted to announce a new partnership with the Trinity College (Dublin) Business School Executive Education programme. Trinity College offers one of the top-ranked MBA programmes in Europe.
Beginning with the June workshop, the ESCRS will be working with Trinity to deliver business and practice management courses and workshops that are geared specifically for ESCRS members. In addition, it means that Weekend Workshop attendees will earn continuing education credits for their participation!
Workshop Programme
1 - Finance in a day For Ophthalmologists
Led by Trinity Adjunct Professor Hilary Hough, this session is based on Trinity’s workshop on Finance for Healthcare Professionals. Prof Hough is a certified accountant and chartered director with a wide range of corporate finance, accounting, and general management experience. He lectures on the fulltime and executive Trinity MBA courses and a range of other executive education programmes.
What you will gain from this session:
- Gain an understanding of fundamental financial principles.
- Develop the skills to analyse and interpret key financial statements, including balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements.
- Learn to create, manage, and optimise budgets to ensure the efficient use of resources within your department/clinical practice.
- Apply financial knowledge to improve operational efficiency, streamline processes, and achieve better patient outcomes.
- Engage in peer-to-peer learning to share insights, best practices, and innovative financial solutions.
2 - What you really need to know about AI right now
Join AI Business School Co-Founder/Chief Commercial Officer Vanessa Foser as she helps to cut through all of the noise and hype about AI and focuses in on what ophthalmologists need to know today about use of AI in clinical practice. Based in Zurich, the AI Business School supports organizations in their digital transformation by combining people empowerment (digital awareness creation and training programs) with business impact creation. Ms Foser and her team are leading in making workforces literate in (Generative) AI and its everyday use/ application.
In addition, members of the LBI Committee will share the AI tools that they are currently using in daily practice/daily life to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
What you will gain from this session:
· A better understanding of what exactly is meant by AI
