Organisation(s)
The Healthcare Leadership Academy
The Healthcare Leadership Academy formed in response to demand from young clinicians and medical students to learn about leadership.
Founded by Dr Johann Malawana (Course Director), former leader of the Junior Doctor Dispute, and a team of like-minded professionals (Our Faculty and Assistant Course Directors) the Healthcare Leadership Academy launched on 20th December 2016.
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 philosophical exploration, HLA aims to inspire our scholars to change the world of healthcare, one small step at a time.
At a time when the world seems an ever more worrying place, it is important that the next generation of healthcare professionals truly understand how to motivate the people they work with in order to best look after the populations they serve.

- Our Story
A world with equitable access to the highest standard of healthcare training.
To empower health professionals through excellent education and to deliver the workforce society needs, through scaled education and training in healthcare.
We have an extensive team of healthcare professionals, educationalists, engineers, artists and filmmakers who create engaging programmes with top clinicians and partner organisations.
Unless healthcare training is revolutionised, there will be a shortage of 18 million healthcare workers by 2030. Medics.Academy is committed to solving this problem. By turning traditional training models on their head, we have managed to make healthcare training more efficient and accessible. Our team is passionate about innovating in healthcare and empowering health professionals across the globe to do the same.
We work with partner organisations to solve problems for society through the education and empowerment of health professionals. We are a mission and ethics-driven company that has passionate people at its heart. We have a deep connection with the communities we work with and we create sustainable change for the benefit of our communities. We have grown across the UK and Europe, and are now expanding into Africa. Our focus is on our learners, health professionals and staff. We have grown our team across Europe, North America and now into Asia.
We are building a multi-generational company that understands we are part of an infinite game.
