System and Leadership Development Programme

The System and Leadership Development Programme exists to enable the parts of the system to share best practice and work together to achieve the best outcomes for our population.

NHS England has developed new ways to improve your experience of work with these short 10 to 20 minute guides developed by experts for everyone in the health and care workforce. The aim is to help you manage your own health and wellbeing whilst looking after others.

BAME Welcome Picture

In West Yorkshire and Harrogate, we are embracing the opportunity to increase the sphere of influence across senior leadership by launching the Fellowship Programme (formally known as The BAME Fellowship) will enable people from ethnic minorities across the Partnership to develop careers, as well as system leaders.

This will help to create more inclusive workplaces and deliver a fairer society by increasing ethnic minority representation, in order to ensure that our priorities are designed with the communities they aim to support.

Applications for the High Potential 2 development programme are now open. View the advert here.

This programme is aimed at leaders working towards strategic board level, system leadership. Connect across service areas/functions to deliver successful outcomes for patients, sectors, communities or staff. The programme will now commence on 5 July 2021 and the closing date for applications was 7 May 2021.

What the System and Leadership Development Programme is about

How we facilitate the work: by enabling the Partnership, programmes and places to define their vision, understand the current situation, plan how to get there and implement the change using the following framework and based on a foundation of leadership behaviours.

Race Equality Network

Our workforce is more diverse than it has been any other time previously. Unfortunately, across some levels of our organisations, particularly in leadership positions, our workforce does not reflect the ethnic diversity of our population. There is considerable evidence which suggests tackling workforce race and equality would improve staff experience, organisational efficiency and - most importantly - improve outcomes for the people using our health and care services. Furthermore, it is important that our staff should be able to look at the leadership and see themselves represented.

The Race Equality Network is now a formal part of our infrastructure, with real influence and purpose, including a role in the implementation of the core offer for all staff, the Partnership, NHS People Plan and the Leadership Compact across the system. This section of our website includes information about the network, including latest news and updates, member profiles and how to get involved.
