System Leadership Development Support
Leading transformation for Integrated Care Nov-2022 to April 2023
Colleagues working in health, social care and the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector are welcome to join us for our new series of 90-minute, virtual sessions. We have different topics for you to choose from which have been co-designed with the seven Regional Hubs of the NHS Leadership Academy and will be hosted by our delivery partner, Tricordant.
So what is this series about? Based on insights and experience drawn from work with a number of Integrated Care Systems across England these sessions will explore what partnership working looks like across teams and organisations.
What does this mean for leaders? It is co-designed with input from local representatives to understand their current challenges and opportunities. The aim is to enhance participants’ capability to think and act as leaders within systems.
This series is for anyone involved in change and transformation, delivery of new integrated care services, organisation development and partnership development working in health and social care systems across England.
Foundations in System Leadership; collaborating for health and care – available on a rolling basis
The Foundations in System Leadership; collaborating for health and care programme is open to all colleagues working in health, care, local authorities and voluntary sector partnerships, who have a desire to improve the way they collaborate across organisational, professional and hierarchical boundaries to design and deliver better health outcomes for the communities they serve.
This series is for anyone involved in change and transformation, delivery of new integrated care services, organisation development and partnership development working in health and social care systems across England.
We are seeking to engage with people from Dorset to share your views on what you would expect the key behaviours to be from a system leader. This survey links to the wider Clinical and Care Professional Leadership programme and leads to system leadership development opportunities.
You are invited to complete a System Leadership Behaviour questionnaire, which will only take 6 minutes to complete. Please submit your response by 31/12/2022.
Thank you!
