Our original leadership development programme, launched in 2017 and based upon original health visiting research by Dr Karen Stansfield, was well-received by participants and their managers. With the support of the NHS Leadership Academy, the programme has been revised and refreshed. Our updated programme now offers a blended learning approach to leadership development with contemporary online and digital learning activity to support face-to-face training elements.
This programme is aimed at developing SCPHN leadership capacity and capability within 0-19 services to make a difference to children, families and communities.
The aim of the programme is to equip participants to lead excellence in practice as Specialist Community Public Health Nurses. This programme is suitable for all SCPHNs in 0-19 health visiting and school nursing services. Each cohort will support the development of up to 20 participants.
On completion of the programme participants will:
1. Be equipped to make sense of the complexity of the context of practice with a clear focus on what makes a difference to children, families and communities by:
- Understanding the strategic context: place-based commissioning; integration of health and care services.
- Critically reviewing current policy developments and their evidence base e.g. the Healthy Child Programme.
This outcome is aligned to the “Context of leadership” element of the Model of Leadership Development
2. Be confident of the evidence base for what makes a difference to children, families and communities considering:
- A vision for excellence in child and family public health nursing.
- Evidence of effectiveness: achieving impact and outcomes through working in partnership with families, colleagues and other services, focus on service improvement.
This outcome is aligned to the “Purpose of leadership” element of the Model of Leadership Development
3. Be able to act consciously on their strengths and developmental needs to enable colleagues and clients to fulfil their best potential utilising:
- Tools to increase awareness of behavioural strengths and developmental needs to enhance their influence and exploring.
- Maintaining resilience with compassion – self-care principles.
This outcome is aligned to the “Leadership Behaviours” associated in the Model of Leadership Development.
