The leadership development programmes, one of which the OU and Hay Group were appointed to design and deliver, are the first set of national programmes to combine successful leadership strategies from international healthcare, private sector organisations and academic expert content. They are available to everyone in health and NHS funded care and provide a single, national approach to leadership development in order to support the next generation of leaders.
Who are the programmes for?
There is a programme for each level of leadership responsibility, providing targeted development for people from all backgrounds and experience levels who have what it takes to create a more capable and compassionate healthcare system.
So, if you are looking to develop the knowledge, skills, expertise, attitudes and behaviours to support the next steps in your personal leadership journey, then one of the academy programmes will be for you.
The OU and Hay Group were appointed to design and deliver the Mary Seacole programme – Leading care 1. It is aimed at people wanting to move into their first recognised leadership role and develop leadership skills that reflect the values of the NHS. The programme leads to an NHS Leadership Academy award in Healthcare Leadership and an accredited Postgraduate Certificate.
