HNY System Leaders – Talent Development Programme
NHS Humber and North Yorkshire ICB have two new talent development programmes on offer. These programmes are specifically tailored to develop the next generation of system-focused leaders for HNY.
If you are a middle leader pushing higher, or a senior leader, ready to take that step to Executive level. Both the Middle and Senior leadership programmes are one year in length and can be completed alongside your current role. You’ll get access to exclusive self-development through tailored psychometrics, core learning and networking opportunities.
If you want to expand your current skill set and look beyond your organisation’s boundaries towards leadership within the Humber and North Yorkshire system as a whole, click the link below to register your interest.
The generalist school is an educational programme open to all healthcare staff working across the Humber and North Yorkshire region. Participants can be registered or unregistered health professionals who will learn together in a cohort over a twelve month period. The programme focuses on enhancing generalist skills – the areas of practice which span all specialties and professions such as providing person-centred care, working sustainably in complex systems, reducing health inequalities and managing patients with multiple interacting comorbidities. It is a professional development programme, and as such, managers who support services to become more integrated, patient focused, sustainable and efficient will also find they can learn and contribute, and bring this learning back to their workplaces.
