elcome to the April edition of
our newsletter! We’ve started the new
financial year with a name change and I’m
pleased to announce that as of 1 April we
officially become the London Leadership
Academy. The change in name is to help
us align better with the NHS Leadership
Academy, who approved the change, as
did our stakeholder reference group at our
meeting in March. We hope you approve
too.
As the London Leadership Academy we will continue to work with
healthcare professionals across the capital to deliver a range of
outstanding leadership development programmes that make a
real difference to staff and organisations responsible for delivering
healthcare to patients and service users. This includes the local
delivery of national programmes on behalf of the NHS Leadership
Academy, including the Mary Seacole programme and the new
Frontline programme for nurses and midwives, as well as a wide
range of exciting and innovative development initiatives aimed at
addressing specific leadership needs in London.
I hope you enjoyed reading about the future leadership for London
research that we mentioned in the March edition of our newsletter.
The aim of the research is to identify and address the future
healthcare leadership challenges in London. We’ve already had some
fantastic discussions with a range of stakeholders across the NHS
in London, and are planning more engagement over the coming
weeks. If you’d like to join us in the debate and help us frame our
future development offers in London that will support and create
the healthcare leaders for the future, please email us to find out
how you can get involved, and read on for further opportunities
to take part. Following our name change, we can now be emailed
at [email protected], and our website has
changed to www.londonleadershipacademy.nhs.uk.

Darzi Fellows – recruitment underway for successful projects
Following the success of five previous years of our Fellowship in Clinical Leadership programme (also known as Darzi
Fellows), recruitment for the sixth cohort is now in progress. London Leadership Academy have commissioned the Centre
for Innovation in Health Management (CIHM) at the University of Leeds to deliver this sixth year of the innovative and
bespoke programme. It aims to develop organisational and leadership skills necessary for our future clinical leaders.
During the programme, fellows will work on a major service improvement project under the guidance of a nominated
sponsor who applied to host a Darzi project.
In total we have awarded 62 places and organisations are currently recruiting fellows for their successful projects. A
breakdown of the projects, organisations and contact details can be found on our website. For further information email
Kashmira Sunni or call 020 7862 8839.

Inspiring Leadership journey shared with Nye Bevan cohort
Participants on the Nye Bevan programme in London were treated to an “in conversation”
session with NHS England Regional Director for London, Anne Rainsberry on 25 March.
Everyone expressed that it was an inspiring evening and a stimulating insight into Anne’s
leadership journey. Feedback included:
“I found the session extremely valuable. Anne was very personable, open and candid
about her experiences on the way to her current role, and since she has arrived. I found it
particularly interesting to hear her views on the importance of understanding her own values
and where she gets her energy from, and the very practical steps she has taken to look after
herself so she is able to maintain that energy.”
Anne Rainsberry, NHS
England Regional
Director for London
“It was fantastic to hear the experiences of a very successful woman who has maintained
authenticity and achieved her success through ethical means…The particular things which I have considered are the
importance of energetic leadership and also looking after yourself as a leader to ensure that you can function in an
energetic manner, this is one area which I think I may have overlooked!”
We will be running drop-in sessions for members of the Nye Bevan cohort in London every last Wednesday of each month
and inviting guest speakers to talk about their own career paths. If you are attending Nye Bevan and would like to know
more about the drop-ins or future talks, please email Jonathan Pam.

Leadership Toolkit - now available
The London Leadership Academy leadership toolkit, which has been developed in conjunction with Royal Free London and
an external consultant, is now available via our website. The aim of this toolkit is to provide an easy to access, just-in-time
resource for healthcare professionals around 13 dimensions of leadership and management – from time management and
developing others, to managing performance and leading change.
We are offering support for organisations who wish to contextualise the toolkit for internal use. For further information
please contact Charmane Williams.

Healthcare Leadership Model and associated tools
The NHS Leadership Academy has been working with
research partners to develop a new Healthcare Leadership
Model which replaces the previous Leadership Framework
(LF). The new 360 degree feedback and self-assessment
tools associated with the Healthcare Leadership Model
are expected to go live soon. If you have previously been
trained as a facilitator for the LF 360 degree feedback
tool, you will be invited to attend a 2 hour briefing session
on the revised model and tools. This session will cover
background to the Model, an overview of the associated
tools, and summary of the e-learning refresher training
which will be made available to all existing facilitators.
These briefing sessions will take place during the last two
weeks of May. For further details and to register your
interest please email Runa Begum.

Paired Learning Celebration Event
Following on from our very successful Paired Learning
bursary scheme, London Leadership Academy held an
event last month to celebrate the success of the Paired
Learning programme. Participants who are currently, or
who have previously been, involved in Paired Learning
were invited to share their first hand experiences and
success stories.
An array of speakers took part from a range of trusts
including, but not limited to, Imperial College London,
Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust and
Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust. Co-founder of
the programme, Robert Klaber, Consultant Paediatrician at
Imperial College London, provided an insight into Paired
Learning, and the exchange of experiences was followed
by further discussions around inspirational ideas and focus
for the future.
As well as celebrating the fantastic achievements of
the programme so far, the evening also helped to raise
awareness for those who are interested in participating in
the programme in the future. We look forward to working
with many more people and hearing further success stories
over the coming months.

Capital People Pilot
London is arguably the most ethically and culturally diverse
city in the world. As such, so are the many issues it faces
across public services and more so within the NHS. Our
innovative Capital People programme has been employing
the principles of Human Rights as a means to help
managers and teams to confront, understand and navigate
the challenges posed through managing this diversity on
a day to day basis. By bringing in the attitude of a more
humane office space we mean to create more inclusive and
equitable organisations.
The programme has received some fantastic feedback from
participants so far, including:
Delivered in conjunction with our partners, Brap, Freda
Consultants, People Opportunities and Goldsmiths Collage,
the year 1 programme has worked with a number of
trusts to pilot this work. We are developing three case
studies from these pilots (The Whittington Hospital Trust,
Greenwich CCG and St George’s Hospital) as a means to
demonstrate the incredible impact this work is making both
with individuals and their organisations and, as it begins to
roll out further, the impact this work can have across the
capital.
“I will use the different approaches when dealing with
challenging behaviour. Also be better equipped with the
knowledge and how I tackle poor performance.”
“[Capital People] exceeded my expectations. I didn’t really
know what to expect. I found the day both informative
and reflective.”
“Yes I would recommend it to others – I think it is useful as
an opportunity to unpack the subject and consider my own
opinions on the subject.”
For more information on the training we are rolling out for
the Capital People programme, please view our brochure,
or email Jonathan Pam.

National Programme Update
Mary Seacole programme
The second series of leadership workshops for our Autumn
2013 intake took place over 3 consecutive days from 8 –
10 April. The workshops were facilitated on behalf of the
NHS Leadership Academy by The Hay Group. Each day
was attended by 70 different participants who explored
various leadership styles through group work and role play.
Feedback has been very positive about the programme,
including:
“I’m really enjoying being part of the Mary Seacole
programme, the content and variety of input and materials
is well balance. It is great to have the opportunity to learn
from other people’s experiences”
The Spring 2014 intake has just commenced with over 200
London participants enrolled.
For more information regarding the programme visit the
Leadership Academy website.
Elizabeth Garrett Anderson programme
Over 275 people remain on the London expression of
interest list for the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson programme.
We recently approached people on the waiting list to see
if they could commit to the next intake which has just 192
places nationally. London has secured at least 39 of these
places, and work continues to allocate these places among
those who are eligible and available. This second intake of
the programme will commence in June and will run over 24
months, with further intakes planned for the future.

over the course of three to four months
• 1:1 executive coaching
• Access to networks, masterclasses, semester series and

Masterclass Series 2014 – 15
Our first masterclass of the new financial year is being
delivered on Friday 9 May by Frances Matthews from
QLearning and will cover the topic of developing your
coaching style of leadership. The session will allow
delegates to identify what makes a good coaching style,
and when it is appropriate to use it, explore techniques
to develop coaching style and then experiment with their
individual coaching styles so they can make conversations
count.
Please contact: [email protected]
Our masterclass series has proved popular in the past,
and this session was no exception – it was fully booked
within 24 hours of invitations being sent! Unfortunately,
this means we can no longer accept any further bookings,
but keep an eye on our website for details of future
masterclasses. You can also follow the masterclass on
twitter @nhsLfhp.
