Written by AlisonFreemantle on Monday 24th January 2022

The Leading for Change Course is now available to Community Pharmacy participants

Who is it for?

Community Pharmacy Professionals who would like to develop their Leadership skills.

Course aims

To enable you to develop the behaviours required to become an inspiring and effective pharmacy leader, equipping you with the knowledge and skills to take on challenges effectively and lead in medicines optimisation to deliver better outcomes for your patients and service users.

Course format

The programme comprises four online modules delivered over six months:

  • Achieving your potential
  • Developing and managing services
  • Inspiring and achieving the best from your team
  • Pharmacy within the wider healthcare system

Each module is supported by a half-day online workshop, online discussion forums and a networking Zoom Room to enable you to put your learning into practice and to allow you to network with fellow course participants. At the end of the programme you are required to submit an assignment to demonstrate how you have used your leadership skills over the course of the six months.

Course dates

There will be six sessions (cohorts) of the programme running in 2022, starting in March, May and September 2022. The first 2 cohorts for 2022 will start in March.

There is a choice of two workshop dates for each cohort so that you can choose the one that works best around your other commitments. You will need to attend all four workshops on the same day of the week to enable you to complete all parts of the programme with your online tutor and fellow participants e.g. if your first workshop is Wednesday morning, the other 3 workshops will all be Wednesday mornings.
