Our work
Evidence-based leadership programmes
Co-designed with partners to address real system needs, and delivered through learning that translates into practice.
​​​​​
Evaluation at every stage
Our programmes are among the most extensively researched and evaluated worldwide. We use utilisation-focused evaluation to capture meaningful data at every stage, helping us understand impact from individual behaviour to system-wide change.
​​​
Research to advance leadership practice
Our work is grounded in research from the University of Oxford, generating insights that strengthen systems and support lasting impact.
Research consistently links these principles to lasting change, which is why they underpin everything we do at Thrum.

Co-designed Programmes
Mixed Faculty
Multidisciplinary Groups
Tailored Content
Active Learning Methods
Programmes are co-designed from start to finish, aligned with organisational goals and generating meaningful data for informed decision-making.
Programmes are most effective when co-delivered by external faculty with leadership expertise and internal faculty with lived organisational insight.
Content is shaped to the needs of participants and organisations,
not dictated by a fixed curriculum.
Leadership development works best when participants from across disciplines learn together, reflecting how healthcare is delivered and led.
Cultural change comes from applying learning in practice. Our methods enable participants to adopt and adapt new behaviours in their work.
