Our diverse and inclusive membership includes managers from the NHS, social care, public health, private sector, military, charity and voluntary sectors, as well as a thriving overseas representation – across all management levels and disciplines.
It is a challenging time to be a health and social care manager.

The IHSCM supports managers by helping them to meet these challenges and understand, develop, share and celebrate good practice.

We are delighted to offer members the CredibleMind resource; a new, free online mental health resource designed to help people manage and enhance their mental wellbeing.
A unique system, CredibleMind, provides expert- and user-rated guidance on techniques and tools to help people manage their own mental health and wellbeing. CredibleMind is a ‘one-stop shop’ for mental health guidance that helps people help themselves, with an evidence-based approach to self-help. CredibleMind not only helps assess and deal with pressing mental health problems, but also guides people to further build resilience and to flourish holistically in their approach to life.
Our Hexitime partnership allows mentors to specify how much time they are prepared to offer and for mentees to find a mentor and agree time commitment to suit them.
“This is the very best of our Institute. Members helping members, united in a desire to encourage, guide and offer support” – Jon Wilks, CEO.
Hexitime enables members to exchange skills and ideas for improvement. Additionally, when any IHSCM member joins, you can apply for our badge.
What’s more, it is all voluntary and free.
If you would like to develop your mentoring skills do please consider enrolling on our Introduction to Mentoring Short Course Masterclass – it only takes around 6 hours to complete and it is entirely online for you to undertake as your time permits.

Wellbeing Festival 2022
Join us for our biggest event in 2022
Workforce wellbeing is a massively important topic across health and social care, even in ‘regular’ times. During the Covid times that importance has been magnified many times over. Of even greater importance is our individual wellbeing.
- How can leaders and managers in health and social care ensure that their workforce wellbeing measures are effective?
- How can new workforce wellbeing measures be speedily implemented?
- Where can leaders and managers find details of workforce wellbeing activity that is proven?
- What can we do to look after ourselves, before we help others?
This festival is an opportunity to explore skills, best practice solutions, and resources for individual and team wellbeing. Take part in live relaxation sessions, create a toolkit of resources, and find out more about what organisations are doing to improve the wellbeing of their workforce.
