Course content

This course is based on the NHS Healthcare Leadership Model’s nine dimensions of leadership behaviours. Studying this course will give leaders and aspiring leaders the practical skills and knowledge to work confidently in developing safe, high-quality clinical care and support services. This course provides you with critical appraisals of current policy, ideas, case studies and innovative practice. This course allows you to directly apply learning to your practice through the live assessments and projects and the personal development plan that you will produce. Selected course modules are facilitated by Alternative Strategies (UK) Ltd, one of our a partner organisations.

You will cover the nine dimensions of leadership behaviour through a series of work-based modules, which explore areas of personal and service development, using useful frameworks, tools and techniques. You will explore the issues related to involving key stakeholders, working with teams and managing organisational dynamics to ensure successful service improvement.
