The lessons of COVID-19
The impact of COVID-19 on our workforce has been immense. Some of our key initial research will focus on finding the leadership practices that will drive the health and care sector forwards and those that should be left behind, to provide case studies, tools and learning for leaders.
Our programme includes a mixture of rapid, medium-term and longitudinal research, using a range of research methodologies and approaches for different issues. For the first year, this will centre on three themes:
- Theme 1: Leadership for inclusion
- Theme 2: Innovation and future leadership
- Theme 3: Leadership in the digital world.
In year 1, we are focusing on:
Leadership for Inclusion

Racial Justice – leading racially just futures and changing and challenging mindsets and practice
Inclusive Leadership – how to develop truly inclusive leaders.
