Overview

Wellbeing is central to public service leadership. Personal wellbeing is essential for sustainable and effective leadership, and leaders need to drive change toward systems of wellbeing where people and planet are properly cared for.

The Leadership for Wellbeing course offered by Wrexham University:

Is designed for those leading or aspiring to lead within public services such as health, social care, education, criminal justice and community development.
