Clinical Academy
Course description
Each year a cohort of competitively selected senior individuals – Associates – each undertake a specific project with tangible outputs linked to a given and explicit service improvement, while participating in a programme of leadership development.
The Academy provides a framework of support, development and opportunity, including:
-
facilitated seminars around aspects of leadership development
-
action learning sets: learning through and with others
-
a travel bursary to further investigate an area relevant to their expertise
-
a conference show-casing that cohort’s projects
All submitted projects will be considered for submission for appropriate awards
