We are thrilled to announce a new 4 day IPS Leadership training course, commissioned by Health Education England and designed for IPS Team Leaders or IPS Supervisors working in secondary Mental Health services.
Developed in collaboration with Centre for Mental Health, Social Finance and IPS Grow, this course focuses on the core knowledge and key skills required to establish and lead high performing IPS services.
This new IPS Team Leader Training is being delivered virtually across 4 days using a mixture of presentation, group work, digital breakout rooms, polls, coursework, action learning sets, self-directed learning and individual learning logs.
We are running this course three times in 2021, with the first cohort of training starting on 26 May. As this course is commissioned by HEE, there are no costs to attend but you must be able to commit to all days of the training plus the two action learning sets. The second course will be in July.
Who is this training for?
Aimed primarily at new Team Leaders, this course will cover the key aspects of the role and how to create and sustain a high quality IPS service.
You will need to be an IPS Team Leader in an NHS Trust delivering an IPS Service for people in secondary Mental Health services. This course is open to both NHS staff and Third Sector providers. How is it delivered?
This course is delivered virtually via Zoom across 4 days plus two follow-up action learning sets. Delegates should set aside time to complete additional coursework.
