On Wednesday 5 September 2018, the NHS Leadership Academy announced its new Rosalind Franklin programme for mid-level leaders in health and care.
The nine-month programme is due to open for applications later this year and will incorporate a blended learning style with mandatory and comprehensive online learning, face to face workshops and small group work.
It aims to help shape the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours of clinical or non-clinical mid-level leaders to help them become outstanding leaders, and for the NHS to develop inclusive and compassionate leaders working at all levels across the NHS to help improve patient care, people’s health and their experiences of the NHS.
The NHS Leadership Academy has a proud tradition of naming its leadership development programmes after those who have had a positive and influential impact on health care. Current programme names include Edward Jenner, Mary Seacole, Elizabeth Garett Anderson and Nye Bevan.

Franklin also contributed new insight on the structure of viruses, helping to lay the foundation for the field of structural virology. Her X-ray diffraction images of DNA enabled the University of Cambridge’s Francis Crick and James Watson to identify the molecule’s double helix structure, which subsequently led to Crick and Watson receiving the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1962 for the discovery. Unfortunately, Franklin was not eligible for consideration for the prize, as at the time, the Nobel Prize was never awarded posthumously.
The Rosalind Franklin programme is currently in the design stage with the application process due to open in autumn 2018. It is aimed at mid-level clinical or non-clinical leaders aspiring to lead large and complex programmes, departments, services or systems of care, who could be described as people who are:
