Structure and assessment The Programme does not result in an academic qualification; it is an applied executive leadership programme that leads to a post-masters executive leadership award. To pass the Nye Bevan Programme and to achieve the Leadership Academy Award in ‘NHS Executive Healthcare Leadership’, participants have to demonstrate their readiness to make the principles of the NHS Constitution a reality for patients, carers and staff; and that they are ready to lead in a system and take action that actively promotes equality. The fee-paying Programme runs for over 12 months with two intakes per year; spring and autumn. It is based in the Leeds NHS Leadership Academy and is also online. It consists of 18 face-to-face days over the period of 12 months (including four residential workshops) but it also requires participants to dedicate time outside the residential activity and to apply learning in the workplace. Participants are divided into cohorts of 49 individuals, and each cohort is additionally formed into seven learning sets, each facilitated by a dedicated learning set adviser. There are seven whole day learning set meetings and three assessment points during the Programme. Learning outcomes The key learning outcomes for participants of the Programme are designed to create a senior leadership cadre with the skills to lead culture change at regional, national and organisational level: The ability to lead with confidence and take courageous decisions and actions that make the aspirations of the NHS Constitution a reality. The ability to create the right conditions for frontline staff, irrespective of their background, to deliver good quality, patient-centred, co-ordinated and cost-effective care. The development of system leadership; as an enabler of change within the wider health economy. Readiness to operate successfully at executive (or national equivalent) level, as part of the board team. The ability to engage with patients, service users, carers and families of all backgrounds, and use this perspective to foster person-centred care in a complex environment. The attainment of a solid foundation of knowledge and networks that will support participants in their leadership now and into the future.
