About the workshops

Each month we run a live workshop exploring a hot topic in health and care. They last an hour and run like a drop-in – short, sharp and solution-focused, leveraging the wisdom of the diverse ShiftWorks community. Recent workshops include:

  • How to have influence where you don’t have authority

  • How to improve the health and performance of your team

  • How to collaborate in a world full of competition and silos

  • How to stay healthy in a burned out system

  • How to manage others when you feel like an imposter

  • How to overcome your feelings and get good at conflict

What else?

We publish a monthly Microdose, our truly bite-size learning. These are 60-second reads with a striking animated visual designed to get you to think differently about an issue in health and care.

We also add a new resource to The Pier each month, which is a playbook of downloadable leadership and organisational development tools on a range of personal, team and organisational topics. There’s even an AI-coaching tool that lets you role play management and leadership conversations!

Finally, there’s the Town Square – the community social space and beating heart of ShiftWorks. It’s where anyone can share anything to do with their life and work in health and care.

What our members think

  • Headshot of Gary from ShiftWorks

    Gary, Health Inequalities Programme Manager

    'I’ve been using ShiftWorks for some time now, and can honestly say it’s one of the best (if not the best) online learning platforms for health and care staff. The amount of content, not to mention the networking and support opportunities. Highly recommend.'

  • Headshot of Tori, ShiftWorks member

    Tori, Head of Communications and Engagement

    'I really value the flexibility of the platform where I can dip in and out of courses when it suits me. My whole team is using it, and it’s sparked some fantastic discussions about what we’re learning and using – from course content to the practical guides.'

  • Headhot of Mike, ShiftWorks member

    Mike, Consultant Trauma Resuscitation Anaesthetist

    'ShiftWorks was recommended by a Ministry of Defence colleague. I particularly enjoyed the Leadership With Compassion course which has helped me understand the way I am able to empathise with colleagues, yet remain an element of distance from their issue and mentor without emotional burnout.'
