Description:
Leading Healthcare Providers (LHP) Skillnet is seeking to partner with one or more Higher Education Institutions to deliver a Level 9 Postgraduate Certificate in Nursing Home Management specifically designed for leaders working within Ireland's nursing home sector. This initiative, fully funded by the Department of Health, aims to strengthen leadership, governance and management capability across nursing homes through the provision of accredited postgraduate education tailored to the Irish residential care sector. The initiative will provide one fully funded place for every nursing home in Ireland over the lifetime of the programme. The initial phase of the initiative will commence in 2026, this procurement relates to the continued national rollout of the initiative during 2027 and 2028. Established in January 2008, Leading Healthcare Providers (LHP) Skillnet is a not-for-profit Learning Network co-funded by Skillnet Ireland and our member companies. Skillnet Ireland is funded through the National Training Fund by the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science. Of the 70+ Skillnet Ireland Learning Networks, LHP Skillnet is the only Network dedicated exclusively to supporting the private healthcare sector. We do this through the provision of high-quality, sector-led, subsidised training, education, research and workforce development. Skillnet Ireland, on behalf of LHP Skillnet, has been awarded this contract by the Department of Health to manage the rollout of the Nursing Home Leadership Education and Development (NH-LEAD) Initiative. The aim of the initiative is to strengthen the leadership capability of nursing home managers and senior leaders, supporting excellence in governance, regulatory compliance, quality improvement and person-centred care. Through collaboration with one or more Higher Education Institutions, the initiative will equip leaders with the knowledge, skills and professional competencies required to respond to the increasingly complex operational, regulatory and strategic demands of residential care services.
