Leadership Learning Series
Early Talent Pathway
Understand Self, Develop Others, Shape Tomorrow
Our Leadership Learning Series offer allows you to choose what CPD is most relevant to you. It is organised into the following themes:
- Developing as a leader
- Engaging and enabling others
- Digital developments
- Service evaluation and organisation effectiveness
- Understanding and navigating financial imperatives
- Designing contemporary services
Each theme is shaped around priorities identified following extensive conversations with leaders across the sector and aligned to Chartered Management Institute (CMI) and NHS Leadership and Management Professional Standards.
Every module consists of clear learning outcomes, an overview of how to make the most of the module, a range of resources, webinars, tutorials and interactive sessions. Some modules have a 'hybrid' option, as alternate to the standard online offer, enabling you to undertake the module in-person over two study days (plus additional online learning). Each module has 4 weeks of structured learning, with a further 6 weeks to enable you to put your learning into practice and develop the evidence for the assessment task. Participants will receive a CPD certificate and credits on successful completion of each module.
Each module has been designed to be taken as micro-credentials, which may be used as part of a body of evidence for recognition of prior learning when applying for university* programmes.
