What will you do on this programme?
The programme will provide you with protected space to develop the skills and behaviours associated with a more collaborative style of leadership and to explore the style, culture and behaviours within your own organisation and your local health and care system.
You will have a telephone conversation with the programme director four to six weeks before the programme begins to identify your personal goals and ambitions; this information will be used to design the detailed content of the programme.
The programme will run over seven months and comprises four modules – one two-day module (module one) and three one-and-a-half-day modules (modules two, three and four).
There will be a maximum of 16 participants.
