How can I join the programme as part of an apprenticeship?
You can also join the programme as part of an apprenticeship offered by one of the NHS Leadership Academy’s partner providers.
Apprenticeships are available in a range of disciplines; including leadership management, digital, project management, sustainability and many more.
They incorporate the Rosalind Franklin programme as part of the apprenticeship or offer it as an optional extra. This gives learners the chance to gain a recognised qualification from the apprenticeship and NHS Leadership Academy’s leadership development programme in one course. Find out more about how these apprenticeships work.
