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.
The programme design
This programme has been designed as an intensive, in-person experience in Oxford. It covers the core themes of the programme using workshops, facilitated discussions, clinics, and small-group work, helping you to create your own, personalised ‘leadership playbook.’
