The programme takes place over five months and will be a combination of virtual and face to face modules:

Module one (part A and part B) will take place over six half-day sessions. After the first three half-day sessions, there will be a break and part B will take place in December. 
Using a tried and tested online platform, we will deliver module one virtually – whilst also paying close attention to how we form a community, giving you the space to connect and get to know each other. 

• You will work in short study blocks for our half day sessions, focusing on a single topic or theme
• You will be sent relevant materials and information in advance of each session so that you’re able to familiarise yourself with the content 
• You will have the opportunity to work in smaller groups within the session, facilitated by a King’s Fund faculty member 
• You’ll also have the opportunity to discuss one on one with a faculty member at the end of each session.

To take part in our virtual module, you will need a reliable internet connection, a quiet space where you can work online without interruption for each session. 

Modules two and three will be held face to face at The King’s Fund in central London (subject to government guidance at the time).
