Leadership development programme for established nursing and midwifery leaders

Our leadership programmes have been described as ‘transformational’ – and with good reason. We develop nurse and midwife leaders at every career stage enabling them to stay, thrive, lead and transform health and care.

This Established Leaders programme enables participants to further develop their individual and collective leadership identity, as well as creating a close network and sense of belonging.

The programme will equip established nurses and midwives with the additional skills and knowledge to better meet the demands of modern health and social care leadership.
