Information about the Senior Leadership Course for NHS knowledge and library staff

We are pleased to announce that we are now recruiting up to 12 participants to a fourth senior leadership development programme for health knowledge and library specialists. Primarily intended for NHS staff, this is targeted at senior healthcare librarians and knowledge specialists already leading a service, team or network, who wish to strengthen their effectiveness as leaders. We believe the programme will be of most benefit to individuals with a minimum of three years leadership experience, who want to make a difference through their work, reach their full potential, widen their portfolios and shape their career.  

Commencing in October 2023 this programme will be delivered online over 9 months. The programme includes: 

 

  • Completing the Edward Jenner Online Course (five hours) 

  • Taught elements/ workshops commencing October 2023 through June 2024 

  • Action learning and coaching 

  • Personal reflection, reading and leadership diagnostics (360) 

  • Completion of evaluation 

The programme will focus on developing strategic leadership skills, leading inclusively, managing change and leading across and within systems. The programme will include participating in a group project to help progress the ambitions of Knowledge for Healthcare
