NHS Project and Change Academy

This suite of specially designed and selected modules aims to provide all NHS staff with a clear and consistent understanding of the fundamentals of project and change management activities, to enable them to have a greater impact on delivering successful change.
These modules are just one method of building project and change capability within the NHS workforce and are available for anyone. All modules within this suite may be of particular interest and benefit to those at the beginning of their careers or those currently in a project related role, but do not hold any sort of qualification in this subject matter (non-project professionals).

The modules are aligned to professional body standards such as the Association for Project Management (APM) and the Change Management Institute (CMI), and government standards set by HM Treasury and the Infrastructure and Projects Authority.
