This 10-week experiential course is designed for leaders like you, who are dedicated to creating a healthier society. Through a blend of in-person and virtual sessions we will help you develop a toolkit to lead through complexity, using a practical example of a challenge facing you in your current role and working collectively on solutions that could create change. This course was developed in partnership with London Interdisciplinary School and we will be co-delivering this course.

Working in health means navigating the complex interface where science meets society. As a leader in this field, your ability to handle complexity will be constantly tested. However, by focusing on inner development and your understanding of the evolving landscape of being a health and care leader, you can build the thinking and practices needed to drive systemic change.

What will I learn on the Leading through complexity course?

Through a blend of in-person and virtual sessions, you will work with a real-world example to delve into:

  • the evolving landscape of health and care leadership, moving towards interdisciplinary and systemic approaches to address complex health challenges

  • the concept of ‘leading beyond authority’ within the health and care sector, and the skills needed to work effectively across sector boundaries

  • techniques to develop your internal capacity to manage health and care complexity, providing you with tools and approaches that will continue to benefit your practice long after the course ends.
