Why should Band 7 midwifery leaders participate in the programme?

In light of the findings from the Ockenden (2022) and Kirkup (2022) Reports, leadership is critical in the modern NHS. Band 7 leaders such as labour ward coordinators and team leaders have a key position in maternity services to support and foster positive workplace cultures and ensure safe and effective care delivery within their teams. Cooperation lies at the heart of human lives, society, and our workplace from day-to-day interactions to some of our greatest personal and workplace endeavours.

Programme commitment
