The MILE Pathway: prioritising the Continuing Professional Development of Registered Managers in Sussex

The project champions the role of our Registered Managers and aspiring managers and highlights the importance of developing management and leadership skills both for individual professional development goals and to support the best health and care outcomes across the integrated care system.

‘Excellent leaders are needed at every level across social care. As well as ensuring high quality, safe and effective care services, they also help develop a motivated, confident and caring workforce that is both highly skilled and most importantly, valued by all those who draw on care and support’

What the MILE Pathway offers

The MILE Pathway offers over 650 of the most current, relevant and engaging management and leadership CPD opportunities available including those from our three local authorities, the NHS and Skills for Care. We produce a weekly newsletter with ‘What’s new in Social care’ and with regular themes in specialist areas. 

Presenting these online in an accessible & appealing way enables managers to select opportunities relevant to them and to create their own personalised development pathway. In this way they are leading by example and showing their teams the benefits of investing in their own learning and development. 

The resources are organised into a management pathway aimed at new and aspiring managers and a leadership pathway for established managers wishing to further develop and grow in their roles. The enhanced leadership pathway focuses on development in specialist areas creating a skilled community of practice in social care.

Offering a relevant and evolving resource library enables managers to gain knowledge and skills in areas that will enhance their own personal practice, enthuse and inspire them in their roles and improve the quality of support offered in services. The MILE Pathway is an investment in social care and its workforce.
