Summary
The aim of this programme is to enhance the leadership skill of senior nurses and midwifes by maximising their potential and fostering healthy and productive cultures in their professional and personal lives. Through a series of targeted tools and interventions, the programme aims to provide a structured framework for self-assessment which identifies individual leadership tendencies, fosters proficient communication, and guides leaders towards growth – ultimately empowering them to become exceptional leaders capable of driving and delivering positive change within the modern healthcare milieu.
The programme is delivered over a six-month period via a blend of engaging, enjoyable and interactive live online coaching sessions with the leadership consultant Annree Wogan using directed learning activities. The ethos and intention of the programme is to be motivating and energising for the participants. Recognising the busy personal and professional lives of senior nurses and midwives, the weekly directed learning activities are short, focused segments that can be completed anytime over the seven-day period.
Drawing on the knowledge and expertise of the participants a key component of the programme as too is the sharing of experiences in a confidential space and the opportunity to build informal support networks.
The programme runs on Wednesdays 9-10am from 10 September 2025 to 11 March 2026.
Programme lead: Professor Mary Rose Sweeney
