Overview

Advancing Women in Healthcare Leadership

18 Hours Course
Multiple 2023 dates (Face-to-face and Online)

Certificate of completion from Queen Mary University of London

In healthcare women make up half of the workforce globally. However, they are promoted at a much lower rate than their male counterparts. Women bring different ethics, morals, and work practices to the arena, but often they can go unnoticed.

This professional development course will help advance women leaders within their organisations, and help organisations develop their women leaders. It will show the benefit in embracing such an approach, which benefits both women and their organisations, by delivering evidence-based strategies, skills development and education that help women at various stages of their healthcare careers step into and succeed in leadership positions.
