Leadership
The inquiry highlighted failures of leadership at all levels of the NHS.
It rightly identified the importance of a clear leadership framework and the need to ensure that clear standards are in place for the most senior managers.
Developing a strong, positive culture of leadership for the NHS is the responsibility for all organisations and all leaders.
There is a particular role for the NHS Leadership Academy to ensure the right values and behaviours are driven through leadership development at all levels of the NHS.
Leadership that embodies and reinforces a culture of compassion and the need to put safety first will be a central part of the academy’s mission.
