Graduates from the Welsh Clinical Leadership Fellowship (WCLF) programme will be ideally placed to build and lead developments and improvements in the delivery of healthcare.
The WCLF programme is a one year opportunity for doctors, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, optometrists, AHPs and Healthcare Scientists. The WCLF programme provides training and hands-on experience in clinical leadership and management. The aim of the scheme is to recruit and develop the most aspiring clinical leaders of the future.

Leadership Fellows work closely with senior medical, dental, nursing, pharmacy, optometry, AHP or Healthcare Science colleagues and are supported in their host organisations by project supervisors.
The programme equips the Leadership Fellows with a range of knowledge, skills and experience required to be credible and influential clinical leaders in a future modern NHS.
