Clinical Leadership Development through Effective Collaboration with Lancaster University

This programme is a pioneering project of collaboration in developing Clinical Leadership between University Hospitals Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust (UHMBT) and CETAD, Lancaster University’s Centre of Excellence in Work-Based Learning.  In 2012, after recognising a lack of support for staff in leadership roles in UHMBT and identifying that investment in clinical leadership was needed, UHMBT approached CETAD, a work-based learning centre in the Faculty of Health and Medicine, Lancaster University, that delivers postgraduate leadership, change and innovation programmes in workplaces, to devise a Ward Manager/Clinical Leader development programme to meet the needs of UHMBT.
