Leadership

This short self-directed e-course has been developed for pharmacy professionals with an interest in developing their leadership skills as part of the requirements towards achieving or maintaining Healthy Living Pharmacy status in line with NHS contractual requirements.

The course uses the dimensions of the NHS Healthcare Leadership Model to help you explore the rewards and challenges of leadership and inspire you to develop your leadership skills and behaviours.

You will have the opportunity to learn using a variety of media and to take part in activities that can help you provide evidence for self-assessment. We estimate that the reading and activities will take around eight hours in total.

Learning Outcomes:

• develop your staff so they are equipped to understand public health needs
• delegate efficiently and effectively
• manage and motivate your team to deliver proactive healthy lifestyle advice
• apply the principles of effective change management to communicate the impact of the HLP to your team.

CPPE has a series of guides available to support pharmacists and pharmacy technicians with their professional and personal development. Each guide covers a range of approaches to help them develop and apply key skills and techniques to practice. Topics range from overcoming anxiety through to leadership.
