About this event

The National Centre for Post Qualifying Social Work is pleased to announce a Leadership Conference to be held on the 9th December 2021 to build bridges across academia, practice and leadership.

As the academic team we want to invite you to create learning cultures by introducing and reflecting on leadership theories in the context of Health and Social Care with us.

We thrive to develop leadership communities to share knowledge, experience and expertise.

The conference will be delivered online and address the key themes

  • How do we manage leadership in a post Covid environment?
  • What happens if change is forced upon us?
  • Who did well and what were the differences?

The Golden Thread of Inclusive Leadership will run through the day and address opportunities for non-oppressive and anti-racist practice.

We will address:

  • Strategic leadership
  • Authentic leadership
  • Integrated services
  • Situational leadership
  • Compassionate leadership
  • Resilience and wellbeing- the impact on performance

The conference will be aimed at managers and aspiring practice leaders at all levels within Health and Social Care settings.

We are excited to collaborate with academics and practitioners from a wide range of backgrounds to offer interactive workshops and panel discussions.
