This is a leadership dedicated space for all fellow Healthcare Scientists across Wales to learn, reflect and develop…


This space is dedicated to supporting the ambition of creating leadership resources for everyone. It is now acknowledged that leadership makes a significant contribution to shaping the culture of an organisation but often wrongly equates to a few individuals in senior positions. It is needed across all levels, across protected characteristics, in all services and settings (HEIW, 2020). The aim of the profession's hub is to facilitate the development of leaders throughout the ranks, building a culture of compassion. Compassionate leadership seeks to attract, continuously support, and develop a flexible and agile workforce (West, 2021). Furthermore, the Healthcare Science framework highlights a need for the development of national leadership plans within Healthcare Science (Government, 2018).

In the Leadership resource section below, you will find a wealth of educational materials and videos, that will grow further over time. The Leadership Programmes and Offerings icon signposts to leadership development opportunities available to Healthcare Scientists to build upon your current skills and experience.

The HEIW Healthcare Science and Leadership Teams are here to support you, facilitate your growth and development as a leader whether on a career pathway equivalent to Practitioner Training Programme (PTP), Scientist Training Programme (STP) and/or Higher Specialist Training Programme (HSST).
