The NHS North West Leadership Academy (NHS NWLA) has opened the 2020/21 coaching offer for senior leaders within a Primary Care Network team. Enabling support from quality assured coaches on the NHS NWLA Coaching Hub https://coaching.nwacademy.nhs.uk.
The NHS NWLA has external coaching support places available for up to four individuals from each senior leadership team within a Primary Care Network setting. For each place NHS NWLA will fund three coaching sessions and work with you to identify a suitable coach from our pool of quality assured profiles on the coaching hub.
One to one support such as coaching, can be a useful opportunity to senior leaders offering a focused and confidential, developmental space. This one to one focused and bespoke relationship is often perceived as the most effective development intervention that a senior leader in the NHS can access. Undertaking coaching allows you to:
- Reach self-identified career goals
- Increase levels of satisfaction, motivation and confidence
- Allows space to challenge thinking
