Step Into Leadership and Management with Confidence — The FEN Leader Programme

If you’re ready to advance your emergency nursing career, the Leader Programme is here to help you grow into — or consolidate your role as — a leader in emergency care. Whether you aspire to be a Sister, Charge Nurse, or Clinical Nurse Manager, or want to enhance your ability to lead and manage an emergency department, this programme equips you with the skills, insights, and confidence to make a real impact.

We know that leading an emergency department is about more than day-to-day management. It means inspiring teams, driving clinical standards, making complex decisions under pressure, and shaping the future of care delivery. That’s why our Leader Programme, alongside the Clinical Programme and Assessor Programme, forms a comprehensive leadership and management development pathway.

Your Learning — On Demand, On Your Terms
All Leader Programme sessions are now available as on-demand recorded webinars, giving you flexibility to learn at your pace, on your schedule. Only our Assessor Programme continues with live webinars — providing dedicated support where it’s most needed.

Coming Soon — The FEN Level 7 Diploma in Leading and Managing Emergency Care
We’re finalising the accreditation of our Level 7 Diploma in Leading and Managing Emergency Care — a qualification designed to formally recognise the knowledge, leadership, and management skills vital for advanced roles in emergency departments.

Comprehensive Content for Leading and Managing Emergency Care
The Leader Programme combines leadership and management development with essential clinical knowledge — providing a complete learning experience for those leading in emergency care. Covering key areas such as communication, team leadership, clinical decision-making, service management, professional responsibilities, and patient care, the programme equips you with the skills and insight needed for effective practice. All content is delivered in full, blending leadership with clinical learning, and is regularly updated to reflect frontline realities and evolving professional standards.

Be Part of What’s Next
At FEN, we’re committed to supporting a new generation of leaders who can confidently manage emergency departments while inspiring clinical excellence and driving service improvement. The Leader Programme offers a practical, flexible pathway to build your skills, grow your confidence, and prepare for formal recognition through our forthcoming qualifications.
