ILC Fundamental Care Leadership Program
10 – 12 June, 2024
3 day workshop, followed by 12 months of mentoring
Oxford, UK

The ILC is pleased to announce that our Fundamentals of Care Leadership Program will be held in Oxford, straight after our Annual International Conference.

The ILC’s Fundamentals of Care Leadership Program aims to empower current and emerging healthcare leaders to challenge and change how the fundamentals of care are valued, prioritised, and actioned within healthcare systems globally.

The program begins with a 3 day intensive workshop, followed by 12 months of mentoring with experts in Fundamental Care.

With colleagues from across the globe, you will learn about creating change in your organisation to improve the care experience for patients and clients and to influence and shape care policy, practice, research and education.

Participants in the Fundamentals of Care Leadership Program will gain:

• unprecedented access to global experts in fundamentals of care
• networking opportunities for sharing of ideas and best practice
• a better understanding of competing priorities in different contexts, for example research groups, education settings, clinical practice settings, and strategies to overcome these
• inspiration to influence change through leadership and political debate
• ideas and skills to increase awareness, recognition, and commitment to the fundamentals of care
• national and international connections for collaborations that have real impact on fundamental care delivery
• a toolkit to help jumpstart change
• a shared understanding of the fundamentals of care and how one becomes a leader in this area.
