NHS Chief Executives Programmes

The NHS manage a wide range of programmes through their Leadership Centre, including a suite of programmes for Chief Executives. These comprise a number of initiatives based upon the NHS Leadership Qualities Framework, including:

National and International Learning Experiences:

• 
  Development Assignments (Lancaster University Management School)
  
• 
  Transformational Thinking (Manchester University)
  
• 
  Study Tour to Canada (King’s Fund)
  
• 
  Duality Leadership Programme (University of Birmingham)
  
• 
  Action Learning Sets (Nelson and Pedler)
  

Modular Programmes:

• 
  Experienced Chief Executives Development Programme (King’s Fund and Lancaster University Management School)
  
• 
  Drive for Results (Manchester University)
  

Of interest here, is the range of learning opportunities being offered, from action learning sets, study tours and exchanges to modular programmes. The participants are free to choose their preferred modes of learning yet the thinking behind the programme implies that each will contribute towards developing qualities from the Leadership Qualities Framework.
