Supporting Our Leaders Through the Work Well Plan

At the heart of our Work Well Plan is a commitment to creating a culture where our people can thrive, feel valued, and deliver the very best care and services. We recognise that leaders play a vital role in shaping positive workplace experiences, supporting staff wellbeing, and fostering inclusive, high-performing teams.

To support our leaders in this important role, our OD Leadership Programme offers a range of practical development opportunities throughout September. These sessions are designed to build confidence, strengthen leadership capability, and equip managers with the tools and skills needed to lead effectively in today's NHS environment.

Whether you are new to leadership, looking to refresh your skills, or seeking to further develop your leadership practice, there is something for everyone.
