Building Collaborative Leadership Across Health And Care Organisations

Integration and collaboration are central features of current health care policy. The NHS long-term plan has confirmed this by stating that all parts of England will be covered by an integrated care system (ICS) by 2021. During the Covid-19 pandemic we have seen some great examples of NHS organisations coming together, as well as closer working between health and local government, and health and the voluntary sector. Greater collaboration across health and care organisations will continue to be important as the system begins to recover.

ICSs, sustainability and transformation partnerships (STPs) and other place-based organisations require NHS leaders and staff to develop a shared understanding with colleagues from local government and the voluntary sector about what is and is not required to make partnership working a reality. This will require a shift in mindset, some different working practices and a greater understanding of how everyone operates. Developing a collective identity will take time but there are some skills and behaviours leaders can adopt to accelerate this process. This programme is designed to equip senior leaders to develop such skills and behaviours. It uses current policy developments to inform and test out what will be most helpful in ‘the real world’ of ICS, STPs and place-based working.

Who is it for?

This programme is for senior staff of NHS providers, chairs and chief operating officers of clinical commissioning groups, ICS and STP staff, and experienced senior managers and clinical leads working in place-based leadership teams who really want to maximise the opportunities of working with peers across an ICS, integrated care partnership or locality.
