Leading Edge in Canadian Deal
Cork company Leading Edge has agreed a deal with a hospital group in Canada to deliver educational programmes to healthcare professionals in up to 150 hospitals in Ontario.
Under the terms of the agreement with Ontario Hospital Association, Leading Edge Group will provide face-to-face training and webcasts as part of the association’s Governance Centre of Excellence.
The deal is expected to generate revenues of CAN$500,000 (€318,431) over 12 months for Leading Edge, which opened an office in Toronto in April.
‘‘Since establishing our Toronto office, we have built particular strength in delivering education and training to a range of professions in the Canadian healthcare sector, including doctors, consultants, nurses, administrators and allied healthcare professionals,” said Joe Aherne, chief executive, Leading Edge Group.
‘‘Our whole ethos is about equipping key people in client organisations with the skills to become in-house champions for efficient performance, process improvement and waste elimination.
‘‘Importantly, those who successfully complete our programmes under this latest contract will receive certification that counts towards the Ontario Hospital Association Diploma in Healthcare Management so the learning is fully accredited.”
Established in 1995, Leading Edge Group employs ten staff and has revenues of €900,000.
