Healthcare Leadership Programme
COURSE OVERVIEW
The Healthcare Leadership Programme is a two-day leadership training programme based on developing leadership skills to enable the delivery of ever-improving high-quality 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 leader training allows you to make the key behavioural changes needed to reach your full potential.
At a glance
One of the greatest challenges facing organisations is the elevation of managers to leaders. This is particularly true in the case of middle leaders, as the increase in overhead for organisations trapped in this manager/leader interface is very significant.
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 strongly 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.
