Springboard to Leadership: supporting diversity Course

The programme is unique within UK healthcare education and has arisen out of a real need identified in workplaces. In order for organisations to benefit from greater diversity amongst their staff, leadership skills that facilitate professional growth and foster a culture of equality, diversity and inclusivity are essential.

This programme is designed to support the development of those from diverse groups who may be underrepresented within healthcare leadership positions, and for those with a deep interest in supporting equality, diversity, inclusion and a sense of belonging within their organisation.

The programme aims to develop the essential leadership knowledge, skills and behaviours to support participants in growing confidence in their abilities in order to be successful in future senior leadership positions within the NHS. The programme achieves these aims through interactive workshops, access to mentoring from senior medical leaders, access to support from programme alumni, peer group support and through opportunities for professional networking.
