Living Potential: The NHS Executive Leaders Wellbeing Programme

Living Potential: The NHS Executive Leaders Wellbeing Programme

If there was ever a time to prioritise the wellbeing of NHS executive leaders, it is now. As the NHS continues to navigate increasing demands, complex services, winter pressures, the ongoing unpredictability of the pandemic, and the impact of workforce and economic challenges, it can be easy for leaders to lose sight of their own wellbeing. Yet, evidence consistently demonstrates that the wellbeing of leaders directly influences workforce wellbeing, which, in turn, impacts patient care, experience, and outcomes.

Leaders are people too, and supporting their wellbeing is vital to enable them to better care for the teams they lead. Supporting staff wellbeing has now been recognised as both operationally and strategically essential, with workforce wellbeing and enablement included as one of the quality statements in the CQC’s new single assessment framework.

The NHS Long-Term Workforce Plan also highlights the importance of embedding the right culture to improve staff retention. Senior leaders play a pivotal role in shaping organisational culture and success. Prioritising their health and wellbeing not only benefits them personally but also creates a ripple effect, positively impacting their teams and the wider organisation. This is an investment in leadership effectiveness, employee engagement, and the long-term sustainability of the NHS.

Is This Programme for You?

Yes, if you are a senior leader managing multiple and often competing pressures and expectations, looking to enhance your own wellbeing and better support a culture of wellbeing in your organisation. Suitable to all senior leaders working any NHS organisational context e.g. provider organisations, Integrated Care Boards and primary
care.

Is There a Cost?

This is a fully funded NHS development programme, supported by NHS England.
