Our mission is to be the membership of choice for leaders, managers and administrators in health and social care to meet together, share experiences, learn from each other and grow their careers, interests and skills.
Our aims
Our aim is to create a supportive professional body that is compelling to join, relevant in its activities and contemporary in its approach.
Our community
We are the leading independent membership organisation where health and social care managers, administrators and leaders, meet, on equal terms to learn, explore, and develop, together.
Our people
Includes; Roy Lilley, Jon Wilks, Dr Terri Porrett, from the Academy of Fabulous Stuff, an advisory board drawn from all parts of the health and social care sectors and some great people working in membership, activities and events.
Membership
By joining the IHSCM, it says something about you.
You will be saying you are interested in upholding the highest standards or your profession, your career and your job, where ever you work in health and social care.
You will be interested in other people working, in the same sectors, networking and learning from them.
You will know that developing your career and you as a person is up to you and will want to have access to events, networking and sessions learning from experts from across the landscape of health and care.
You will be confident that you can do all that if you are supported, valued and feel part of an organisation that is respected and fun!
You can participate in our Member-Exclusive High Performance Leadership Competency Framework.Â






Every year, you can achieve a Bronze (50 points), Silver (125 points) or Gold (200 points) High Performance Leadership Competency Framework Award.
After 2 years of participation in the framework, you can also apply for Fellowship.

Regional Hubs
Introducing our Regional Hubs network
Regional hubs are a growing group, established to make it easy for members to access convenient, regular and high quality workshops, programmes and social events. The Hubs focus on helping you to develop as a professional and a person.
It is our firm intention to establish our IHSCM Hubs all over the United Kingdom so that no member lives more than about an hour’s journey away from one.
Events
Events, meetings and networking will be the cornerstone of your membership. Â
You will be invited to take part, meet key leaders, talk to opinion formers, innovators and most important share the good things you are doing. All of the programmes are presently on-line and can be accessed live, or recordings that can be viewed when it’s convenient for you.Â
On-line, ready to view when you are, has been hugely popular but we know getting back to the good-old-days of face-to-face as soon as we can is a priority for us all.
