Healthcare Leadership Programme
COURSE OVERVIEW
The Healthcare Leadership Programme is a two-day course focused on developing leadership skills to support the ongoing delivery of high-quality, ever-improving care.
Strong healthcare leadership is fundamental to influencing the way care is given, ensuring it is high quality, safe and compassionate. Progressing from manager to leader is one of the most difficult transitions for both individuals and the health organisations they work for.
Essential skills for being an effective leader include motivating, inspiring and supporting others in the team. Through a combination of taught seminars and a powerful assessment tool, this leadership training allows you to make the behavioural changes needed to reach your full potential.
At a glance
One of the greatest challenges facing organisations is the progression of managers to leaders. This is especially true for middle leaders, as the overlap between managing and leading can create a lot of extra pressure on organisations.
Investing in middle managers is a key ingredient of future performance for any ambitious organisation. The importance of their contribution as they grow into leaders cannot be emphasised enough.
The Healthcare Leadership Programme (HLP) focuses on this challenge by developing leadership skills, building resilience and supporting the mental wellbeing of those within the organisation.
