Learning to Lead
For our services to achieve excellence we need leaders at all levels. This programme is designed to help you understand and develop your leadership style. Working through the programme will give you the chance to build on your current skills and develop new ones to unleash your leadership potential.
BRONZE
Bronze level is an introduction to leadership. You'll discover more about yourself by completing the TURAS Leadership foundation modules. The self assessment questionnaire, from Project Lift, will give you insight in to your strengths and areas for development.
SILVER
Silver builds on your learning and brings it in to practice in your clinical area. You'll have the opportunity for coaching and will develop your thoughts on the next steps in your leadership pathway and development.
GOLD
For Gold you will be given the opportunity to undertake 'paired learning'. Alongside a colleague from a different discipline within NHS Lothian you will work together to understand each others' roles and responsibilities and you will join forces in a joint improvement project. Self reflection and 360 degree feedback will bring you to the end of this programme. Your leadership journey will continue....
