Urology Clinical Leads Programme
This programme is fabulous. I learnt loads and would unreservedly recommend it, particularly to young clinical leads.
Why are improvement programmes important for clinicians?
We recognise the NHS is currently under a lot of pressure and understand how demoralising and frustrating this can be for clinicians who want to continue to deliver best practice in an ever-changing and increasingly complex healthcare environment.
Our sector-leading improvement programmes provide a supportive and empowering environment for clinicians at different stages of their career with a passion for delivering tangible improvements within the sector. We’ve worked with over 150 clinicians across the prostate cancer pathway and improved care for more than 20,000 men across the UK.
What is the Urology Clinical Leads Programme?
Our 20-week programme will help Urology Clinical Leads strengthen their professional skills through a package of education, coaching and peer-based mentoring, while supporting you to deliver a project to improve services within the prostate cancer pathway. This programme encourages clinicians to become transformational leaders, drive improvement and change and helping men to access high quality treatment.
Applications are currently closed.
What does the programme involve?
