Module overview

Our short course will help Allied Health Professionals become effective leaders of people. You will develop the knowledge, skills and attributes required for effective leadership of people. You’ll gain an understanding of how to effectively work as an individual or team member. And you'll reflect on your own values and principles that underpin how you currently work.

The course is suitable for all Allied Health Professionals who want to develop as leaders, or progress their career.

The module will start with an online day in early September. We will familiarise you with the module and how it runs, and make sure you can navigate your way around the resources on Blackboard. We will also help you start to think about “who you are” as a leader. Following this, there will be three residential days in Wales, applying leadership theory and behaviours in the hills, lakes and rivers.

After we return from Wales, we will have three days of online learning and two evening discussion sessions (6:30 – 8:00pm). These sessions will be spread from October to January, perfect for fitting around your other commitments.
