About the programme

Interpret the complex global healthcare environment and harness the paradoxical forces within it to effect change.

The Oxford Healthcare Leadership Programme is a specially developed programme designed to help clinical leaders and healthcare executives sense-make and influence across a sector characterised by multiple funding models, continual service redesign, technological change, and increasing public and political scrutiny.

It brings together not only Oxford Saïd’s cutting-edge research in leadership, strategy, and change but also insights from expert practitioners and other academics from across the University of Oxford. 

Modules on the course cover:

  • Enhancing your leadership style
  • Increasing performance
  • Driving innovation
  • Discerning effective strategy
  • Understanding the environment

Working as part of a diverse, experienced, and balanced cohort, you will gain new insights into leadership and systemic responses to critical challenges, and hone your learning into focused, actionable plans.

Our aim in creating this programme was to provide a forum in which healthcare leaders could examine the challenges and contradictions inherent in their roles and organisations and use those insights to drive transformational change.

Leadership in this context is about influencing and persuading, and requires sophisticated analytical and diplomatic skills to recognise and work with the tensions in the system while diffusing potential conflicts.
