Inspiring Leadership Programme
Leading Self; Leading with others in a Palliative Care Setting
The Inspiring Leadership Programme aims to support specialist palliative care teams adopt a more proactive approach to service delivery and to embed the values, behaviours and attitudes of leadership. Developed and launched in 2017, the programme was originally developed to help identify Clinical Nurse Specialists and other Allied Health Professionals from specialist palliative care teams and prepare them for future roles.
The programme is open to all registered health and social care professionals working within specialist palliative care in Scotland.
Registration is now closed for the next Inspiring Leadership programme beginning February 2024.
