Leadership for consultants
In a rapidly changing NHS, consultants and GPs face greater complexity at every level. This highly-acclaimed programme will enable consultants to develop their own personal leadership style to deal successfully with the constant pressure and pace of work in their role.
Who is it for?
This programme has been redesigned to allow consultants from all specialisms across primary and secondary care to address the challenges they face in their respective roles. Whether you are newly appointed or have been in your role for a significant length of time you will find the programme challenging, intellectually stimulating and practical.
