Contents
Background
Ostensibly set up to offer, in Cumberlege's own words, "training courses", Cumberlege Connections is, the Lady maintains, "not a lobbying company".[1] According to the official website, the firm's unique selling points are as follows:
- "Experiential Learning: Our programmes are firmly rooted in the principle that the best way of learning is by “doing”. Our training sessions are designed to be as interactive as possible, giving all participants the opportunity to put into practice the tactics and strategies learnt throughout the day. We always ensure that participants on our programmes will have an experience that they will never forget, embedding learning which individuals can draw on in the future.
- "In-depth knowledge of Politics and the NHS: Cumberlege Connections, and Julia Cumberlege in particular, has experience of working at all levels in the NHS. She has a natural empathy and understanding of the working situations and politics, both with a small and large “p” that affect their everyday working lives.
- "Network: The network of contacts and excellent relationships that Julia has established during her exceptional career ensure that we have assembled a team of the highest calibre to support us in our programmes.[2]
Programmes offered include a two-day course titled 'Politics, Power and Persuasion', aimed at nursing and midwifery leaders[3] and available at a cost of £550.00 (ex vat).[4] Also available is 'The Westminster Experience' in which senior NHS managers, clinicians and non-executives are offered "an opportunity to better understand the influence that national politics has on the NHS and in turn, how you can better influence for the benefit of your organisation".[5] This one-day course is available for £1200.00 (ex vat).[6]
