Supporting Leadership Development

An opportunity to become Healthcare Leadership Model 360 feedback facilitators

A key means by which managers in the NHS can assess their leadership practice is through the Healthcare Leadership Model (HLM).

Its nine domains describe the sorts of aptitudes that are needed to be successful in these roles, whether one is a clinician or general manager.

It is possible to use the HLM to explore one’s leadership practice through completing a self assessment However, the model also offers interested parties the opportunity to undertake a full 360 exercise, which invites their manager(s) direct reports, peers, and others in their professional ambit to offer their feedback in relation to those nine domains.

A 360 exercise of this sort generates a detailed report, which includes numeric data and commentary offered by respondents As is often the case with such exercises, the report is initially shared in a formal meeting between the candidate and a trained facilitator.

The training is completed in just one day and facilitators maintain their licence by undertaking at least two facilitations per year. They can offer this service to anyone across the NHS who has completed a 360 their name is included on a register of approved facilitators linked to the HLM hub.

The NHS London Leadership Lifelong Learning Team are keen to maintain a significant group of people across the capital who are competent and confident to facilitate 360 sessions As a result, we are extending this invitation to train to be HLM 360 feedback facilitators.

This means that those who are trained will be able actively to support leadership development across the capital, through offering facilitation to those who might complete a 360 It also represents an opportunity to expand their own engagement with the wider management agenda It is a personal leadership development opportunity that provides a lead to collective leadership development.

This training will run over two half days between 0900 and 1330 on both the 6th and then the 8th July 2021, and it will be delivered via MS Teams  *currently fully booked*.
