£2 million to boost NHS-wide leadership development
NHS England has funded a £2 million programme to assist 23 areas boost leadership development activities to support and inspire workforce in health systems across England.
The funding will support systems to develop locally tailored programmes, investing in both newly established and experienced leaders to increase their system leadership capability, including development for GPs, consultants and therapists to nurses, social workers and managers.
The programme builds on learning from five successful leadership models: Frimley Health and Care 2020 Programme, Surrey Heartlands Academy, Fylde Coast 100 Systems Leader Programme, North Cumbria and Leading Greater Manchester. The Frimley Health and Care 2020 leadership development programme, launched in 2017, has already seen 100 leaders join forces at a series of residential and day events.
Dom Hardy, NHS England director of primary care and system transformation, said: “As set out in the Long Term Plan, we want to nurture the next generation of NHS leaders by more systematically identifying, developing and supporting those with the capability and ambition to reach the most senior levels of the service.
“The leadership development programmes are about getting people, from different parts of the health system, to work together and inspire the system-wide workforce to solve problems together as a team. We are seeing an enormous appetite across Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) and Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs) to support staff at all levels with leadership and change capability and we are looking forward to building on this, and spreading the good practice as we move forward in delivery of the Long Term Plan ambitions.”
Across the NHS, 14 ICS and STPs are seeing the NHS and local government work even more closely to join up care and support across general practices, community services, hospitals, councils, voluntary and community organisations and charities.
