Additionally, we are still taking applications for February’s team leader training course. This 4-day training will equip you with the skills to lead high-performing IPS services.
The above courses are specifically designed for team leaders and service managers working in NHS-funded secondary mental health services.
If you have any questions about the training, please feel free to reach out.
