Our Emerging Clinical Leaders programme helps support those clinicians and health professionals already managing people move into a more senior leadership role. The programme will equip you with the skills needed to manage a team, build resilience and respond to an ever-changing external environment.
The course is suitable for clinicians working in the NHS, social care, local authorities or the private sector. You might be a specialist trainee doctor, junior consultant, senior nurse or allied health professional.
The course will take place over six days in a four-month period online. During the sessions, you will work with our programme directors and fellow participants to explore your leadership style and think about how this might evolve in the future.

how to join up strong leadership with patient-centred care
about your role in promoting safe, high-quality care
