I wouldn't consider myself a leader in health, can I still register for this leadership course?
Yes, this course is designed for all students, wherever they are on their leadership journey, to support their personal growth.
I'd like to apply but have missed the registration deadline, is there a waitlist?
Yes, complete the registration form. We often have movement in our registrations.
I'm not sure I can commit to all 5 days of the programme, is this ok?
We ask that you make yourself available for the full five-day course to get the most benefit. Our tertiaries are familiar with the programme and releasing students to attend. We try to time the programme to avoid clinical placements, exams etc.
