Next Step: Leadership and Management Fellows Programme - Transforming Healthcare through Applied Leadership Training
Applications now open
The context of Leadership and Management within the NHS has never been more challenging as managers and leaders tackle the pressures of a volatile future. In response to this NHSE East of England are extending their existing 'Leadership Ladder' development programme with a next step programme to create Leadership and Management Fellows. Working with a powerful collaboration from King’s Health Partners, King’s Business School; the Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management and The King’s Fund to deliver rigour and expertise, clinical insight, and cutting-edge content to tackle the challenges in delivering leadership and management successfully through a specialist intervention.
The Next Step programme will equip 70 Leadership and Management Fellows (LMF's)from the East of England each year with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to allow them to thrive as both leaders and managers and to adopt the skills and confidence to apply this new understanding into their own organisational settings.
Open to senior postgraduate medical and dental trainees (of all specialties) within two training years of their expected CCT date if working in secondary care, and at least ST2 at the start of the program if working in primary care, and who will still be in a training programme in the EoE at the end of July 2024, the Next Step programme is an 11-month immersive development experience that will charge the graduating Leadership and Management Fellows to disseminate this understanding by acquiring the expertise needed to act as leaders, enabling them to share leadership and management insights to other PGMD trainees and healthcare professionals.
Fully funded by NHS England East of England, the key features of this innovative programme fall within four blocks of activity, each of which has a face-to-face day with the other Leadership and Management Fellows, and each challenging and updating the common view of the “mini-MBA” by addressing emerging issues and focussing on new skills and adaptability needed for the years ahead, using the breadth of the curriculum to thrive in the current and future context.
