HLA:IDEAS Organisations

HLA:IDEAS is an incubator programme that supports social enterprises and non-profit organisations in healthcare. Beyond that, we aim to foster leadership in healthcare through promoting entrepreneurship among healthcare professionals.

The programme is delivered in accordance with the values of the Healthcare Leadership Academy:
  • Accessibility and equity, and a belief that all healthcare professionals should have the means to learn about and engage in social enterprise; at any level at any time
  • Belief that inclusivity is key to leadership - leadership should not be the arena of a chosen few but of all those with innovative visions, ideas and solutions

HLA:IDEAS is a two-year-programme designed to help initiatives face the challenges associated with establishing and growing an organisation.

Most incubator programmes are designed for for-profit organisations, with focus on quick expansion and maximising profit. HLA:IDEAS is an innovative programme aimed at non-profit organisations who face different challenges and require unique strategies for development. We focus on sustainable growth and targeting resources to achieve significant and meaningful impact.

General Applications

The Healthcare Leadership Academy formed in response to the demand from young clinicians and medical students to learn about leadership. Founded by Dr Johann Malawana and a team of like-minded professionals, The Healthcare Leadership Academy launched on the 20th of December 2016. The HLA houses an exciting faculty from across the health sector and beyond. Their shared aim is to inspire the next generation of healthcare professionals and develop their understanding of leadership. Too often in healthcare, leadership is confused with management. Through a combination of mentoring, socratic discussion and rigorous training in practical leadership skills, The HLA aims to inspire our Scholars to change the world of healthcare, one small step at a time.
