A practical course for healthcare professionals who are expected to lead or manage others — often without formal leadership training.
Leadership and management in healthcare are rarely taught — yet they are expected.
Most healthcare professionals are promoted because they are excellent clinicians, not because they’ve been trained to:
Lead people
Manage services
Navigate difficult conversations
Build effective teams
As a result, leadership is often learned:
On the job
Through trial and error
Under pressure
With little structured development
This programme exists to change that.
Evidence-Informed. NHS-Aligned. Practical.
This course is aligned with the NHS Healthcare Leadership Model developed by the NHS Leadership Academy.
Rather than abstract theory, the focus is on leadership behaviours you can apply immediately across clinical, managerial, and multidisciplinary settings.

What do HCPs say about us?

Dr. Rafael Hashmi – Associate specialist, Royal Lancaster Trust
“Excellent learning opportunities during this interactive course”
Dr. Jane Ormond - SpR - RLBUH
"The online Teacher Teaching has been a real help. Lots of effective tools that I could use immediately. Thank you."
Thomas Ross – Lead Pharmacist, South & Mid Division, NHS Highland
“I have attended a number of one day training events that Tom has run but, more significantly, an extensive leadership and management course that ran over 18 months, with 12 direct teaching days. Tom is a fantastic course leader and facilitator. His knowledge of leadership and management skills, his enthusiasm and ability to motivate a group are second to none, all of this only helped by his sense of humour. In a short period of time, Tom helped us to gel as a group and to establish a supportive, safe and confidential environment. As well as imparting a lot of theoretical knowledge, Tom helped us to turn the theory into practice so that we could utilise the learning in our day-to-day roles and helped us to work through some difficult and challenging scenarios. The long-term outcome of his facilitation and support to our group is that we developed a longstanding network of colleagues and friends across Scotland. During our 18-month course, he went above and beyond simply being a course leader in that he made himself available to us as a coach and mentor. I, and many others, took him up on this offer because of his approachability and also because of the trust and confidence we have in Tom. In particular, Tom gives individuals the insight into their own potential, pulls out skills and attributes that individuals may not see in themselves and provides individuals with the courage and confidence for them to go far outside their comfort zone and to push their own development. My colleagues and I feel that, in Tom, we have met a phenomenal coach and mentor and also a friend.”
