This new programme is designed to enhance the leadership skills of internationally educated nurses so they can be a confident and effective leader whilst working in social care in England.
It features live online workshops, reflection sessions and self-guided learning. We’ll provide tools and techniques to better lead themselves and others, to understand their boundaries and the role of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
