Much more than courses and concepts, ShiftWorks brings the full diversity of the health and care workforce together, regardless of sector, experience, role, or status. It’s beautifully designed peer driven social learning for busy schedules, and it’s organised around the simple idea that if we understand each other better, and learn from one another, we’ll create a new generation of distributed and collective health and care leadership.

What will you get from ShiftWorks?

For just £30 per learner, per year, you'll get:

  • A growing portfolio of CPD-accredited short courses by The King's Fund on a range of contemporary health and care management, leadership and organisational topics. 

  • Snappy, bitesize learning content that reframes old ideas and stimulates new thinking. 

  • A growing bank of personal, leadership, team and organisational development activities to download, take offline, and run with colleagues. 

  • Regular live workshops facilitated by The King’s Fund on a wide range of topics.  

  • Regular opportunities to connect, network and share experiences of life working in health and care with peers from across the NHS, social care and voluntary and community sector. All learning together, and about each other. 

  • A reliable and secure learning management system, managed by The King’s Fund, with daily learner support provided. 

  • Quarterly learner data for organisations upon request to track individuals' progress and group engagement.  

  • A flexible annual subscription that can expand or contract around your needs.

What people are saying... 

ShiftWorks is really such a great and timely offer. You get a lot for your money and the courses and workshops are all so helpful.
NHS clinical psychologist

This has been so much better than other management training as it seems to cater for different learning styles and is not as ‘stuffy'
Charity CEO

It's a really fantastic offer and we're really genuinely happy to be able to offer our staff something
Hospice manager

It’s everything you want from a product like this. I use it to help me prepare for meetings and sometimes log on instead of going to meetings! I don’t know why you wouldn’t do it.
NHS programme director

This is such a helpful offer at the right time. It fits around my hours and caseload and the content and workshops really make me think.
Social worker

We already have some CPD in place for our team, but this is such an incredible offer and I can really see how some of these courses will benefit us.
