Case Study – North West NHS
The programme was developed with the Leadership Academy for 125 managers from trusts across the region to enable them to rise to the challenges that the future will undoubtedly bring and continue to deliver the changes required to provide high-quality health and social care services.
The philosophy of the Leadership Academy extends to all management levels of the North West NHS. The Programme was an opportunity for NHS managers to embark on a programme of leadership learning that will have long-lasting benefits for the individual, their present organisation and the NHS as a whole.
Key outcomes are:
For the individual managers
→ Personalised learning driven by their development needs with a focus on the individual’s current and potential future careers.
→ Support through each phase of a service improvement project.
For their employers
→ To have individuals developed and able to support key pieces of project work.
→ The opportunity for a service improvement project to be identified and delivered through the programme.
For the Strategic Health Authority
→ Develop a talent pool of middle managers.
→ An aid to succession planning.
