Practical learning outcomes

What you will gain from the live course

Develop leadership and management approaches you can use in healthcare, while understanding how NHS structures, resources and service pressures affect the decisions you make.

Lead with greater self-awareness

Recognise your style, strengths and limitations, and adapt your approach to the situation and the people involved.

Build stronger workplace relationships

Use emotional intelligence and clearer communication to influence colleagues, including those you do not manage directly.

Support people and address problems

Balance motivation and support with appropriate expectations, difficult conversations and action on underperformance.

Turn ideas into practical action

Delegate, coach and mentor colleagues, engage stakeholders and build a realistic approach to change and service improvement.

Learn with a trainer and colleagues

How the two live course days work

The different parts of the course are connected: your understanding of the wider system shapes your leadership, and the way you communicate affects how you influence people, lead teams and bring about change.

Explore and reflect

Work with an experienced trainer to explore leadership principles, consider your own behaviour and connect the material to situations from your working life.

Discuss and practise

Ask questions as they arise, work through practical exercises and group activities, and learn from colleagues in a group of no more than 20.

Take the learning back to work

Use discussion, reflection, coaching approaches and action planning to identify practical steps for your own role and workplace.

One live course, delivered over two days. Both days start at 9:30am; Day 1 finishes at 4:30pm and Day 2 at 4:00pm, UK time. The course combines facilitated teaching with discussion, reflection and practical activities rather than continuous presentations.

Six connected subject areas

What the live leadership and management course covers

Explore these subjects through live teaching, discussion and exercises. You will be encouraged to relate the material to your own professional experience rather than study leadership theory in isolation.

NHS structures and challenges

Organisation and accountability
How NHS organisations and services fit together, where responsibilities sit and how different parts of the system interact.
Pressures and priorities
Workforce pressures, increasing demand, financial constraints and the competing priorities that influence decisions.
Quality and patient safety
Maintaining quality and patient safety while working within pressured services and limited resources.
System leadership
How NHS structures affect leadership and decision-making, including working across organisational boundaries. Through live discussion, explore shared priorities, influence without direct authority and collective action to improve outcomes for patients and services.

Leadership foundations and personal style

Leadership and management
The difference between leading and managing, and the strengths of different leadership approaches.
Your preferred style
Identify your leadership preferences, strengths and limitations, and consider their effect on other people.
Adapting your approach
Choose approaches that suit the situation, the people involved and the level of support or direction they need.
Confidence and credibility

Emotional intelligence, communication and influence

Self-awareness and resilience
Understand emotional intelligence, recognise emotional triggers and manage your responses to difficult situations.
Compassionate leadership

Communication and influence
Communicate with clarity and impact, including influencing colleagues without direct managerial authority.
Challenging conversations
Approach difficult discussions professionally, balancing your message with an understanding of the other person.

Leading teams and managing performance

Team dynamics and roles
Explore team behaviour and Belbin Team Roles, and how different contributions affect multidisciplinary working.
Motivation and culture
Build and motivate effective teams and create the conditions for a positive, productive team culture.
Support and underperformance
Support colleagues, develop performance and address underperformance with appropriate expectations and accountability.
Delegation and responsibility
Delegate effectively, clarify responsibilities and retain appropriate oversight without taking every task back.

Coaching and mentoring

Choosing your approach
Understand how coaching and mentoring differ and when each can support a colleague's development.
The GROW model
Use GROW to give developmental conversations a practical structure without turning them into a script.
Listening and questioning
Develop listening and questioning techniques that help other people think through their own situation.
Developing others
Support individual development, help colleagues explore options and encourage ownership of their solutions.

Leading and managing change

Responses to change
Understand different reactions, resistance and legitimate concerns rather than assuming agreement with an idea.
Engagement and support
Communicate the need for change, identify stakeholders, build support and influence those whose cooperation matters.
Putting change into practice
Use action learning and practical problem-solving approaches, maintaining momentum through implementation.
Your leadership action plan
Translate learning into a personal action plan and practical steps you can take back to your workplace.

Live-course participant feedback

What participants say about the live course

Read feedback from people who attended the live leadership and management course.

"The small number of candidates in the group really made the course. The handbook was an excellent resource and the variety of teaching, discussion, activities and reflection made the two days genuinely engaging. I left with real enthusiasm for a subject I had previously not fully understood or appreciated. Dave was an engaging and inspiring trainer whose energy and enthusiasm were infectious. Brilliant course."

Jessica, ST6 O&G

"The topics were extremely useful and I now have a much better understanding of leadership and management. The course also covered performance management and emotional intelligence, both of which I can see myself using in practice. Dave was fantastic: enthusiastic, flexible and willing to explore additional topics that were particularly relevant to us."

Niki, ST6 Histopathology

"Well structured, with an informative handbook and a good variety of teaching methods to keep everyone engaged. The trainer facilitated the sessions extremely well and made many thought-provoking points. An excellent course that I would recommend to colleagues."

Jonathan, ST4 Psychiatry

"The course was interactive, the group was fully engaged and the training materials supported the learning very well. The trainer was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and actively encouraged questions. The course fully met my expectations."

Daniela, ST Paediatrics

"The content was highly relevant and immediately applicable to my day-to-day work. I particularly liked how interactive the course was. The trainer used the leadership concepts he was teaching throughout the course itself. I never once looked at my watch."

Alexandra, Psychiatry

"A brilliant course, packed with practical leadership and management techniques that are genuinely useful in the day-to-day NHS. I particularly enjoyed the sessions on negotiation, leadership styles and teams."

Andrew, ST6 Anaesthesia

"Excellent and very engaging. The course was individualised to the needs of the group and gave me a much better overview than the university leadership course I was completing at the time."

Sarah, ST7 O&G

"Excellent trainer and superb time management. I didn't feel bored for a single minute. I particularly liked learning through team and group work rather than simply sitting through presentations."

Andreas, ST6 O&G
Common questions

Live leadership and management course FAQs

Who is the Live Medical Leadership & Management Course for?

The course is designed for doctors, nurses, managers and other healthcare professionals who want to develop their leadership and management skills.

It is suitable both for people who already have leadership responsibilities and those preparing to take on greater responsibility in the future.

Do I need previous leadership or management experience?

No. The course provides a strong foundation while also giving more experienced participants an opportunity to examine and refine their existing approach.

The emphasis is on applying the learning at a level appropriate to your own role, experience and responsibilities.

Is the course only relevant to people working in the NHS?

No. NHS structures and challenges form an explicit part of the course, making it particularly relevant to people working within the NHS. However, the wider skills of leadership, communication, influencing, team development, coaching and managing change are applicable across healthcare settings.

How interactive is the course?

The course is highly interactive and combines live trainer-led teaching with discussion, exercises, reflection and practical activities.

Attendance is limited to a maximum of 20 participants so that people can contribute their own experiences and take an active part throughout both days.

Is the course delivered online?

Yes. The course is delivered live on Zoom, with the trainer and participants interacting throughout both days. It is a synchronous live course rather than self-paced e-learning.

If you would prefer to work through the material at your own pace, see our Self-Paced Medical Leadership & Management Programme, which includes ten e-learning modules completed over 90 days followed by a live two-hour webinar.

How long is the course?

The course runs live over two days. Day 1 runs from 9:30am to 4:30pm and Day 2 from 9:30am to 4:00pm, UK time.

How many CPD points will I receive?

The course provides 12 CPD points, and you will receive a certificate following completion.

Can I use the course as evidence for my portfolio?

Yes. You will receive a certificate of completion providing evidence of structured professional development in leadership and management.

How much does the live course cost, and is there a discount?

The two-day course costs £399 including VAT. Save 10% when you book two places on this course or book another ISC Medical course at the same time. Add each participant separately to the same basket and check the discount before paying.

How do I choose my course dates and receive joining instructions?

Check the calendar, then choose an available two-day course in the booking form. Enter the participant's name, grade and specialty, and email address. The Zoom joining instructions and access code will be sent two days before the course.

Would you prefer flexible study?

The self-paced leadership programme covers the same core principles through ten modules over 90 days and a two-hour live webinar. Compare the two formats to choose the learning experience that suits you.

Build your confidence in leading people, supporting performance, influencing colleagues and managing change.
