It offers practical, skills-based approaches to fostering inclusive, high performing, and safe team cultures across healthcare settings.

Designed for doctors at all levels and across all career pathways, the course combines structured one-to-one education with self-paced readings, short exercises, and individualised planning.

It supports real-world implementation within clinical teams and organisations.
