Leadership Development Programmes Retender

Leadership Development Programmes (known as the Nye Bevan and Elizabeth Garrett Anderson programmes) Retender
The NHS Leadership Academy (as part of Health Education England) is holding a Pre-market Engagement Event for providers who are interested in tendering for the provision of two nationally renowned and award-winning leadership development programmes namely the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Programme and the Nye Bevan Programme.
The Academy’s philosophy is simple – great leadership development improves leadership behaviours and skills. Better leadership leads to better patient care, experience and outcomes. Its purpose is to work with partners to deliver excellent leadership across the NHS to have a direct impact on patient care.
The Academy will continue to build a leadership community with a common purpose and shared values. Its whole approach is designed to create inclusive and distributive leadership at all levels, throughout all professions and across all sectors.
There is unequivocal evidence in every sector that there is a strong relationship between leadership capability and organisational performance. This is as true in health care as it is in any other business.
