It’s not work, it’s life


1.3 million staff, working in more than 90 occupations and professions

£100 billion budget

1.5 million people use the NHS every 36 hours

Some BIG numbers…


The quality of leadership can make the single biggest difference as to whether organisations

are high performing or not.

“there is good evidence that

better managed healthcare

produces better results for

patients” …and… “the key to

improvement is better

management of resources.”

“good financial management

arrangements are essential if

NHS bodies are to meet their

objectives and deliver

effective healthcare to

patients.”


What can we do to reduce the 22,000 deaths every year because of alcohol misuse?

Or cut back on alcohol-relatedadmissions to A&E?


“More managers than beds?”


The scheme exists to grow highly skilled managers who have the potential to go on to achieve senior leadership positions to improve health and healthcare.
