Leading the Future of Primary Care
This programme commences with an in-depth exploration of strategic leadership in the primary care setting.
Leaders set the tone of the organisation, model the way for others and are responsible for creating the culture of the organisation. When several practices merge or when the politicised operating environment is constantly changing it can be challenging space to lead in.
This module supports primary care leaders to explore their own environment, values, and leadership philosophy before exploring a range of tools and techniques that will support their personal leadership journey and deliver tangible outcomes for their organisation.
Key themes include:
- Strategic Leadership Theory and Practice in Primary Care - Leading with compadsion, purpose and humility.
- Exploring the complexities of leadership across Multi-Disciplinary Teams
- Leading a culture of performance excellence
Delivering Through People
Primary Care and the broader NHS faces a myriad of complex challenges and leaders operating in such environments are constantly balancing the challenges of the political, professional, operational and people agendas.
Our teams are fundamental to the delivery of successful operational outcomes and this module provides an in-depth exploration of the factors that facilitate thriving in complexity and the leader’s role in creating the culture.
Key themes include:
- Leading resilient teams
- Exploring the relationship between leadership and team resilience
- A systems level view of factors that impact individual and organisational resilience.

Delivering the Strategy
When we work within and are invested in an organisation it can be difficult to see things from a different viewpoint.
