To meet the needs of a changing population, adopt important innovations and redesign for greater sustainability, primary care teams across England will need to evolve the way they work. This is a leadership challenge of unprecedented scale and complexity which requires that primary care professionals are inspired, equipped and supported in leadership roles. This has been recognised in successive national policy documents including the General Practice Five Year Forward View and the National Improvement and Leadership Development Board’s “Developing People – Improving Care”.
The NHS North West Leadership Academy (NHS NWLA) has a range of offers that are designed to provide a toolkit of insights, strategies and practical skills that will help primary care leaders step up to the challenges of modern day frontline healthcare provision and the resilience to step forward positively into future challenges.
