Summary
You can choose from a selection of online sessions between January and March 2026.
The PCB’s wellbeing leadership programme, tailored for all four disciplines of primary care, will continue into 2026.
New dates for the Being Well: Leadership Training Programme have been released for between January and March.
The free training course is believed to be the first of its kind, designed specifically to include community pharmacy, dentistry, general practice and optometry providers.
It aims to change the idea of ‘being well’ at work by cultivating a culture of compassion among the workforce.
It emphasises that wellbeing is a ‘must’ rather than a ‘nice to have’, and that investing the time to improve staff wellbeing is a form of prevention.
You can read a blog on how the PCB is approaching workplace wellbeing, written by Dominic Anderson, our health and wellbeing programme manager, and Luvjit Kandula, PCB Chair.
The programme consists of two 90-minute sessions via MS Teams and is aimed at leaders, aspiring leaders and those with a responsibility for wellbeing in the workplace.
Session one presents the case for staff wellbeing and looking after yourself. It will explain why building staff wellbeing through leadership is a uniquely effective approach, offering practical approaches to build leaders’ own wellbeing.
Session two focuses on how to lead wellbeing and look after your teams, using behaviours that create and support healthy workplace cultures that build wellbeing in teams. This session will explain what leaders can practically do to lead culture change and engage teams in developing their wellbeing.
