Welcome to the East Midlands Leadership Academy
I hope you will find something of interest here for you and your colleagues. 2010/2011 was the first full year of the Academy's operation and we have seen a number of successes; some of which are celebrated here. To date over 1600 people have attended Academy events and programmes and every one of the 24 NHS organisations in the East Midlands has accessed and benefitted from our offers. However, the Academy is very aware of the current significant challenges colleagues in both provider, commissioning and SHA organisations are experiencing and offer a number of programmes that will provide some support during this time. For example the Transition programme and a renewed offer for coaching both Executive and their direct reports.
We have recently developed Ashridge accredited Action Learning Set facilitators and Leadership Quality Framework facilitators available to you free of charge and are pleased to announce the launch of our Emerging Leaders programme for 2011/12 and a new, accredited Clinical Leadership programme due for launch in November 2011.
We remain convinced that our core principles are contemporary, relevant and sustainable:
"To improve service to patients, carers and service users through effective leadership"
We are always keen to hear from you with your views and suggestions - our forthcoming sessions on commercial acumen have been a direct result of your requests to us - more details on this in our regular mail outs but please do contact us directly Tel: 01159555449.
Thank you for your support to date and we look forward to continuing to work and develop with you in the challenges and opportunities in the coming months.
Professor Rachel Munton
Director of the East Midlands Leadership Academy
