Leadership development
Leadership is not just something that comes from the top. Successful organisations have leaders at every level and systems leadership is crucial for the effective and efficient running of primary care networks (PCNs) and across integrated care systems (ICSs). Our leadership development support includes board development and coaching as well as programmes aimed at clinical directors of primary care networks and practice managers tasked with leading rapidly expanding teams in environments of unprecedented change. But it’s really aimed at everyone – all aspiring leaders and leaders who want to further develop.
We believe leadership is about how you behave. It’s what you do with your leadership skills and competencies and our training reflects that.
Our leadership development support is designed and delivered by executive coaches who have lots of leadership experience working across the NHS and we promote a learning environment where the listening is as important as the presenting of information, where we encourage openness and honesty and where we remind participants that successful teams and organisations are largely built on positive relationships.
We hear people say ‘but there’s not enough time’. There is time, the time exists – its just what we do with the time that’s the tricky bit. In our training we allow people to explore their role, think about their contribution, build confidence and try new things.
We understand the NHS and healthcare organisations and the day to day pressures. Our team has in depth experience of primary care. Our trainers have first hand experience of working across the system themselves and of the sort of challenges facing commissioners and providers now. There’s been unprecedented levels of change, uncertainty and potential stress factors as a result of the pandemic and now further organisational changes. Listening skills, empathy, self-awareness – these are all areas for development that underpin much that system leaders need. Leading change, influencing people, working collaboratively, developing talent – all start with you and that’s where PCC comes in.

The Confident Leader
The confident leader programme is delivered with a group coaching approach, like an action learning set. A monthly series of three hour online sessions led by experienced coaches, we cover a range of topics including the principles of leadership, leading change and influencing skills. You will have the opportunity to form a network with other participants for learning, reflection and mutual support.
*We also deliver the Confident PCN leader and the Confident practice manager.
Building confident women leaders
Although women make up 70% of the NHS workforce, there is still a real challenge to seeing women in senior leadership roles. This programme of six sessions offers the opportunity for women aspiring to develop further in their leadership role to share experience, listen to and learn from one another, guided and facilitated by an experienced coach. The programme looks at imposter syndrome, confidence and the workplace culture and includes a series of action learning set sessions.
Leading a psychologically safe workplace
Establishing psychological safety in the workplace is for leaders to work on and role-model. This three hour workshop explores the what and the how – why must we work on improving the psychological safety for our teams and how can we go about it.
Leadership development programme
This is a programme (three sessions) for any leader looking to build on their leadership experience and learn additional skills in a sympathetic interactive group environment.
All our leadership development support is delivered with a coaching approach – we listen as much as we ‘tell’ and find the value of allowing people to work through their own issues and apply learning to their current challenges is enormous.
We can also deliver bespoke leadership development support to best suit your needs. We’d be really happy to talk through the options and agree the design of a programme or training session.
All programmes can be delivered face to face or virtually.

PCC offers one to one executive coaching. To find out more about having coaching with one of our ILM 7 qualified coaches.
