CPhO's pharmacy leaders development programme : CPPE
The Chief Pharmaceutical Officer's Pharmacy leaders development programme is for experienced pharmacists and pharmacy technicians who aspire to lead large and complex departments, services, teams or systems of care to benefit patients and local communities. It aims to develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours to help experienced pharmacy professionals become outstanding, compassionate and inclusive leaders and improve the performance of the teams and the people who work with them to deliver improved outcomes for patients and the public.
This programme aims to create a cadre of senior pharmacy professionals ready for challenging senior leadership roles and to develop professional networks to sustain their professional leadership practice. A key objective is to make a positive contribution to improving the diversity of the people in the NHS' senior pharmacy professional leadership positions.
It offers a comprehensive mix of residential workshops, optional specialist study days, and small group support to build capability, confidence and networks across the wider system.
At the first residential block, participants will be introduced to Boyatzis’s model of self-directed learning (Goleman, Boyatzis and McKee, 2002). Participants will be supported by their impact group and facilitator to determine their individual leadership development needs and to plan their further learning requirements.
Components of the programme include:
- compulsory residential block A: three days
- compulsory residential block B: two days
- workplace-based project that links to one or more of the programme’s learning outcomes
- optional specialist study days: up to five days
- online interaction via discussion forums
- personal study time
- mentoring
