ALERT! - The nominations for the 2012 NHS Leadership Recognition Awards are now open

The NHS Leadership Academy brings together for the first time all the national activity supporting leadership development in health and NHS funded services. 

The principal purpose of the Academy is to develop outstanding leadership in health, with a continual focus on improving patients' experiences and their health outcomes.

The challenges facing the NHS require our leaders to build on their existing strengths - and add new ones.

We will work to professionalise leadership in health and take every opportunity to recognise the crucial contribution that leaders make at every level and from every profession. We will champion inclusion, equality and diversity and encourage innovation in leadership to imagine, design and help to deliver an NHS fit for the next generation. And always recognise that good leadership is about improving patients' experiences and health outcomes.

Our first year will be a transition one, where we will be looking to significantly develop our online presence. We would welcome your views on our website. Contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

Areas of Work

The Academy has four key areas of work which capture the full breadth of our activity across the NHS and underpin our strategic aims:

  • Developing the approach to leadership based on the Leadership Framework; setting national standards for leadership development and talent management; rewarding and recognising outstanding leadership;
  • Supporting the development of local leadership capability: providing expert support for local NHS and key partner organisations;
  • Supporting changing and developing parts of the NHS system: developing shared leadership approaches with local government and providers of NHS services;
  • Providing and commissioning a range of cutting edge national programmes: in total these will make up the single largest training programme for leaders in the world.

Serving the NHS Community

We will work with doctors, nurses, health professionals and managers from across the NHS, as well as public health, social care and local government.
