Frequently Asked Questions

Who is our Leadership and Management for Nurses course for?

This course suits registered nurses, midwives, and allied health professionals ready for bigger leadership roles - think Band 5 to 6, or Band 6 to 7. It helps you get comfortable with team management, tricky conversations, delegation, and polishing your CV for the next step up. You'll also pick up practical ways to lead confidently, look after your staff's wellbeing, and keep safety front and centre. 

Where in Derby is the training held?

For Derby courses, we normally choose venues on the Nottingham side of the city so they are easier to reach from the A52, A38 and M1 corridor. This often makes travel simpler for learners coming from areas around Pride Park, Spondon, Chaddesden and Royal Derby Hospital, with good access by car as well as bus and rail links into Derby.

We favour venues with reliable parking and straightforward road access rather than busier central Derby sites, which helps keep both travel and venue costs more manageable.

Full venue details and arrival instructions are normally sent around 14 days before your course.

What is the course structure?

We don't believe in death by PowerPoint. All our sessions are interactive and will be more of a group discussion and learning than us telling you what you should and shouldn't do. The session involves some simulation so be prepared to be challenged. 

Is Leadership and Management for Nurses accredited training?

Although not officially accredited, our course is designed to impart practical skills and advice - helping you step up as a leader with confidence and make a real difference. Plus, you will be able to earn CPD and contributory Revalidation hours with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). 

Can you deliver Leadership and Management for Nurses training at my organisation?

Yes. For groups of 6 or more, we can deliver this training at your premises. Ideal for Universities or NHS Organisations, we can empower your students or staff to lead with a positive attitude and culture.
