The programme helps your Matrons excel in:

  • Delivering outstanding patient care and safety

  • Managing resources effectively

  • Supporting and developing staff

  • Using technology strategically

As your facilitator, I bring extensive NHS and healthcare leadership experience as a Registered Nurse, Health Visitor, and Director. I understand the real challenges Matrons face.

Your Matrons will leave with:

  • Clear understanding of their role

  • Personal development plan

  • Renewed focus and energy

  • Strong leadership capabilities

This programme transforms good Matrons into exceptional healthcare leaders.

How do we deliver it?
