Edward Jenner CMI Accredited Programme

Programme overview

Who is it for?

This programme is designed for anyone aspiring to their first leadership or management role within the health and care sector over the next 1-2 years.

You will ideally have a role, be on a work placement or volunteer in a health and care setting, to participate in the activities on this programme. There is no prior experience or knowledge required.

If you want to feel better equipped to deal with the daily challenges of working in healthcare, caring for patients, lead services and provide leadership for those around you by supporting them to do their job better, the Edward Jenner programme is for you.

This programme is also for learners interested in:

Beginning your journey of personal development
Improving your experience of work, work relationships or your teamwork and communication skills
Understanding what leaders do and how they do it
Wanting to make a difference in the way your team works or the services you provide

Why should I join the programme?

The programme has been designed with health and care staff, for everyone working in a health and care context. Highly practical and patient-focused, it’s a great way to understand the purpose, challenges and culture of the NHS.

It’s flexible and enlightening, helping you get a fresh perspective on the impact you have on the patient experience – either directly or indirectly. It’s also a valuable refresher at any level, as well as an important first step towards further leadership development.
