About HLA:IDEAS​

HLA IDEAS is an incubator programme dedicated to supporting social enterprises and non-profit organisations in healthcare. We aim to foster leadership through promoting entrepreneurship among healthcare professionals, aligning with the values of the Healthcare Leadership Academy (HLA):

​

• Ensuring all healthcare professionals have the means to learn about and engage in social enterprise at any level.

• Believing that leadership should be accessible to all those with innovative visions, ideas, and solutions.

​

The programme is a two-year journey designed to help initiatives face the unique challenges of establishing and growing a non-profit organisation, focusing on sustainable growth and significant impact rather than quick expansion and profit maximisation.
