Who is the enhance programme for?
It is for anyone working in the voluntary sector, health or social care who wishes to develop their generalist skills in a supportive multidisciplinary environment. It is open to all sectors: primary care, secondary care, community care and social care and to clinical and managerial and administrative staff.
Our first cohort piloting in Bradford will run until November 2026, with plans to launch a second West Yorkshire wide cohort next year.
Why should I do it?
Enhance is the opportunity to develop a wider understanding of the system we work in and how to develop a more generalist and patient centred approach. You will develop the necessary skills to thrive in your career, whilst developing networks and a greater understanding of the wider community, voluntary, health and social care system and your colleagues working within it.
When is the enhance programme running?
The first cohort piloting in Bradford will run until November 2026, with plans to launch a second cohort next year.
What qualifications will I get?
There is no formal qualification but you will get a certificate of completion of individual modules and the course, providing you have evidenced your learning and engaged with the sessions (if completing Tier 2).
What qualifications do I need to attend?
You do not need any qualifications to attend. You need to be employed or volunteering in the health and/or social sector in West Yorkshire.
How much time is needed to complete the enhance programme?
Approximately 4 hours per week is advised.
Is this for senior leaders?
No, this programme is for anyone, at any stage of their career, we all have value and experiences to share. The more diverse the cohort in enhance, the more the group will benefit from the breadth of experience and knowledge.
Do I need line manager approval to attend?
Given the number of study days involved, and the likelihood this will need you to attend during your scheduled work hours we ask that your line manager is aware and on board to ensure that you can be released and fully commit to the course.
