Healthcare professionals who are concerned that their organisation's project management performance has not improved despite their staff receiving training on PRINCE2 project management techniques can take advantage of ‘People Based Project Management' - a programme providing the essential skills required to plan and run successful projects.

Developed by the specialist healthcare quality, innovation and productivity improvement enabler, Amnis, the programme is relevant for any project manager - irrespective of whether they have had PRINCE2 training or not.

Amnis' managing director, Mark Eaton, observed: "It is curious that, with many healthcare organisations investing in PRINCE2 training and qualifications, a significant number of them are asking for further advice on how to run projects.

"For large scale, high intensity projects with a complex structure, such as the redesign of a new hospital, creation of an autonomous provider organisation (APO) in primary care or similar, PRINCE2 provides a valuable structure," he added.

"However, most projects in healthcare are far less complex and rely far more on interactions between individuals, a simple structure and effective management skills.
