The Fellowship Programme is for a duration of 18 months. The programme is an educational experience for applicants interested in becoming involved in creating technology-based education solutions impacting the medical sector. It forms the practical element of a programme of study with university level masters accreditation, it is not a requirement to undertake the qualification aspects. Those that are successful in their application will benefit from a bursary and scholarship towards the qualification
The programme consists of the three phases which are marked by projects aimed at involving fellows within the company.

He undertook a lot of work on both boards to ensure the voices of medical students and junior doctors were heard. Johann served as an advisor on several reviews of the medical education environment with a strong belief in the need for strong medical leadership and the power of young doctors and medical students to be a force for good in the NHS. Many of the engagement strategies developed for these reviews were a direct result of the work Johann undertook.
Through The Healthcare Leadership Academy, Johann hopes to support healthcare professionals to feel more comfortable in leadership roles, to support them through the diverse and vibrant community that we have built up in their whole careers and to ensure that individuals do not feel isolated in leadership roles.
