DCP Leadership and Management Developmental Programme
Are you a mid -career clinical psychologist looking to progress into a more senior role? If so, this is a programme for you.
24 October 2023
The DCP Leadership & Management Faculty is launching a new Leadership and Management Developmental Programme, which is a key part of our plans to support the development of a workforce with confident and competent leaders in the changing and complex working environments of today.
We know that there is a shortage of accessible pathways of development for our future leaders and so have created this programme to help fill the gap.
It will cover key areas of knowledge and also, very importantly, connect you to others at a similar career stage which will provide you with networking support as you move forward.
The programme starts in February 2024 with an initial cohort of 20.
The cost of the course is being generously subsidised by the DCP for members so the total fee per person is £300, which includes all elements of the programme except travel and accommodation.
Programme Content:
This programme will offer a blend of conceptual, experiential, and reflective learning, which will enable participants to explore and develop their leadership capability with lasting impact.
The curriculum includes a range of relevant leadership models and approaches and will explore how they can be utilised on the ground.
The key aspects of the programme include:
- Leadership, Authority and Power – Professional & Personal Meaning
- Inclusive & Compassionate Management in Action
- Working with Team Dynamics and Influence
Programme Dates: 27-28 Feb & 24 April 2024
Location: BPS London Offices
Programme Design:
The programme will consist of three full days across three months, with opportunities for one-to-one mentoring, action learning sets and a follow-up meeting as well as exposure to experienced and
inspiring leaders.
There will also be a chance to meet and form a peer group which we envisage to become an important resource.
Who can apply?
The programme is designed for DCP members in AfC 8B and 8C roles with current leadership responsibilities across the public, private and third sectors.
If you are interested, please contact Dr Amra Rao at [email protected] for further information, or use the accompanying link to submit an application.
The deadline for applications is 30 November.
We aim to notify successful candidates by mid-December.
