Leadership and management in health and social care are as vital as the care itself. At IPC, we understand the need for effective leadership, especially when facing a challenging inspection rating, high turnover of staff, or the introduction of a new leadership team. Our bespoke leadership development programmes are tailored to your specific challenges and requirements, acting as a catalyst for lasting and powerful change. Designed to enhance the skills and knowledge of team managers, service managers, heads of service, and senior leaders, our programmes empower you to tackle current challenges effectively and support cultural change to achieve your organisational vision.
Learning with IPC takes place in small, interactive groups, complemented by one-to-one coaching sessions. This format offers intimate and informal opportunities for leaders to discuss pressing topics in a confidential environment, fostering cross-level management collaboration. We also provide action learning sets, which are ‘real-time’ opportunities to address current leadership challenges within a small group using an evidence-based process. Our programmes can be delivered online or face-to-face, ensuring flexibility and accessibility. Participants can opt for formal accreditation, such as a Postgraduate Certificate in Strategic and Operational Leadership in Social Care, to further enhance their professional development. Trust IPC to deliver sector-specific expertise and practical solutions, elevating leadership within your organisation and driving meaningful improvements.
To support leaders at various stages of their careers, IPC offers three specialised programmes designed to develop skills, enhance capabilities, and foster leadership growth:
