Run by the Mental Health Network and National Mental Health and Learning Disability Nurse Directors Forum, our Aspiring Nurse Directors Programme is a professional development course for mental health nurses looking to take the next step in their career.

Benefit from expert masterclasses, career coaching, peer support and practical advice and guidance

Exclusively for members, the programme equips aspiring leaders with the knowledge, tools and insight to progress to a nursing director role. We support and encourage aspiring nurses from black and minority ethnic (BME) communities to join the programme, given the current under-representation of BME individuals in nurse director positions.

Benefit from expert masterclasses, peer support and practical advice and guidance, right up until interview stage. Expand your professional network and connect with peers across the country.

If your organisation is a member of the Mental Health Network, please get in touch to find out more about the programme.
