Courageous Leadership is a new ALLIANCE initiative, profiling leaders in health and social care across Scotland. The series, part of the ALLIANCE’s Health and Social Care Academy programme, asks what Courageous Leadership means, delves into what makes great leaders and looks at the journeys toward leadership roles.

The series not only profiles Chief Executives and those at the top of organisations, it speaks to leaders at all levels to reflect a breadth of leadership styles. Each interview is unique, giving a ‘behind the scenes’ look at how leaders approach their work in health and social care, how they inspire others and what they want to see in terms of leadership for Scotland’s third sector into the future.
