CQC expects evidence of how leadership supports quality, staff wellbeing and continuous improvement.

Regulation 17 means demonstrating strong oversight, timely support for staff, and a positive culture where learning and resilience are built into day‑to‑day practice, not added on at inspection time.

To support this, HCPA is delivering a range of leadership and management programmes, all focused on practical skills that can be applied immediately in care settings.

And the good news is, these are all eligible for reimbursement of the course fee through the Learning & Development Support Scheme (LDSS), making leadership development more accessible and sustainable.
