Complete Details

The RCN Wales Political Leadership Programme is a premier two-day intensive course designed to empower nursing professionals to navigate the complex intersection of healthcare and politics. In an era where health and social care services in Wales are at the very top of the legislative agenda, this programme provides a vital exploration of how the political environment sets the context for individual practitioners and their healthcare organisations.

Participants will dive deep into the mechanics of how health and social policy are shaped within the devolved Welsh government. The curriculum is delivered through a blended learning approach, combining high-level interactive discussions with practical workshops. Led by experienced lobbying, campaigns, and media practitioners, the programme also features influential guest speakers, including current and former politicians, political experts, and pioneering nursing leaders.

The course is specifically designed for nursing staff of all roles—including registered nurses, midwives, and healthcare support workers—but is also highly valuable for those in related health and social care fields. Attendees will learn to engage with strategic policy and gain the practical tools necessary to influence the wider healthcare agenda. By the end of the programme, delegates will have a sharpened edge on strategic issues, allowing them to better represent their services and lead with a stronger professional voice at both local and national levels.
