Open for applications – This programme is sponsored by the NHS Leadership Academy and Eastern Academic Health Science Network and delivered by the Kings Fund and EoE Citizens Senate.

The programme has been designed to enable individuals who wish to be involved in the work of the Citizen’s Senate to gain the knowledge, confidence and understanding to sit at the decision making table and to be able to use their patient and citizen experience to influence and impact health and social care outcomes. Potential participants will come with a range of existing and related lived experience and knowledge of health and social care. We will be working with participants to build on and strengthen this base of knowledge and experiences. A key learning outcome is to support participants to become even more effective influencers and partners in the strategic and operational change processes that underpin the new emerging health and care system.

Training dates (attend all 4 days): Day 1 – 20th May 2020; Day 2 – 21st May 2020; Day 3 – 10th June 2020; Day 4 – 8th July 2020

The course is open to all those who are involved in representing the patient & public voice in the East of England, including NHS PPI Leads.

Currently closed, but taking expressions of interest – The Future Directors Programme, is part of the ‘Leadership for Change’ suite of programmes, is an ongoing collaboration between the Staff College and Public Health England.

Open for applications – The programme ensures trainees are exposed to Leadership and Management development over a one-year period early in their Specialist Training, rather than simply as a “quick fix” five-day course in their final year.

​QSIR College is designed to develop candidates to become associate members of the QSIR Teaching Faculty and go on to skill up other staff within their local systems. Between 6 to 10 candidates will be drawn from the various organisations involved in the sustainability and transformation plan across up to 10 health systems.

Individuals nominated by their systems should be committed to working together across organisational boundaries to skill other staff up to undertake the quality and service improvements that will underpin delivery of the Five Year Forward View and have significant service and quality improvement skills and experience and be committed to working as a member of the local team rolling out the QSIR programme across their system.

Currently closed – This fully funded programme provides access to expert, professional support delivered through a series of workshops for those leading transformational changes. It is targeted at teams of senior leaders who are working on a transformational change as part of an sustainability and transformation partnership (STP) or integrated care system (ICS) work programme. During the workshops, the teams are supported to put theory into practice as they work on their own system-wide, transformational change and interact with peers from across the country who are leading changes in their own systems.

Based upon the proven concepts, tools and techniques used when working within complex healthcare environments, TCSL covers a broad range of topics. The workshops integrate a wide range of perspectives and theories — from complexity and system theories to the psychology of change — and participants have time to use various tools to shape their programme and build their change leadership capability.
