NHS Chief Executive, Amanda Pritchard has announced a programme to transform NHS leadership and management over the next 2 years. Leaders and managers shape the culture, experience and outcomes across the service for patients and our staff. So this programme won’t be optional; it will be an essential expectation of all leaders and managers, whether clinical or operational. This programme is being overseen by Navina Evans, Chief Workforce, Training and Education Officer, while Sam Allen, Chief Executive of North East and North Cumbria ICB has been tasked with supporting NHS England’s team to deliver the programme.   The programme has 3 workstreams which will set the right standards, improve our development offer, and nurture and deploy talent across the NHS. Workstream 1: Set the right standards for our leaders and managers NHS England will introduce a new Management and Leadership Framework to create greater parity with clinical and other professions and consistency at all levels of management and leadership. The framework is being developed now and implementation is expected to start in summer 2025. The framework will comprise: a code of practice to set out the values and behaviours expected of all leaders and managers in the NHS and social care the professional standards that leaders and managers must demonstrate the competencies which underpin the standards and outline the specific skills, knowledge and abilities individuals need to perform effectively at each level Workstream 2: Develop our leadership and management  It’s not enough to set out the right standards for leaders and managers – they need quality-assured support and training along the way too. That’s why we will set out: a new accredited leadership and management development curriculum which will describe the requirements for delivering high quality training and development refreshed leadership development programmes which update current Leadership Academy programmes against the new standards Workstream 3: Talent support and career development We need to improve how we attract, identify, mobilise and retain talent and high potential at all levels in the NHS. We will do this by: strengthening the talent pipeline for chair, non-executive director, chief executive and executive roles. This will include the Aspiring Chief Executive programme and interventions to attract new talent, and to better identify and develop existing non-executive directors through the redesigned Aspiring Chair Programme, starting in spring 2025 support senior leaders to work in the most challenged systems by identifying existing talent and current barriers to deployment at pace, with a longer-term plan to ensure the most experienced and effective leaders are identified and supported to take on these roles, and we’ll set out this plan in spring 2025 https://lnkd.in/ewJFpZS7
