Developing Leadership Programme

The Developing Leadership Programme is designed to help you be an effective role model and bring about positive changes whilst promoting a team approach that is inclusive, vibrant and supported by continuous learning. This programme has been developed for nursing staff level 5 or equivalent.

Clinical Leadership Programme

For future clinical leaders working at levels 6 and 7; this programme will help you to create a culture of innovation and give you the confidence to lead a team through organisational change.

Demonstrating Value

The RCN Demonstrating Value programme equips frontline staff with the skills, tools, and techniques to secure commitment for their service and support for ongoing development. Choose between the one-day masterclass or commission a full programme. 

Fitness to Practise

The Royal College of Nursing has worked in liaison with the Nursing and Midwifery Council to develop this evidence-based programme. The aim of the programme is to encourage employers to consider taking a learning approach, rather than a punitive approach to address any conduct and capability issues that arise.
