    This is the programme outline for the 2024/25 Leadership and Management Fellow Scheme.

     

    Most modules will be delivered via Zoom from 9.15am-4.30pm. The Welcome event in September 2024 took place in-person from 9.15am-3.00pm and the Politics, Power and Persuasion module in January 2025 is scheduled from 9.15am-4.30pm.
