Ward Manager Leadership Development Programme
We are delighted to announce that we have been commissioned to deliver a Ward Manager Leadership Development Programme as part of NHS England’s Mental Health, Learning Disability and Autism (MHLDA) Inpatient Quality Transformation Programme. The aim of the overall programme is to re-imagine a bold new vision for inpatient services where people are treated with compassion, experience care that is safe and therapeutic, and the staff and people they support can flourish. These improvements are outlined in the co-produced Culture of Care Standards.
Ward Managers are crucial to the development of cultures of care that impact positively on outcomes and experiences for patients, families, carers and staff. The aim of the FoNS-led programme is to enable inpatient MHLDA Ward Managers to develop their leadership practices to ensure that they can work collaboratively with others towards realising the Culture of Care Standards.
Applications will be via provider organisation chief nurses.
Between November 2024 and June 2026, FoNS will be working with 180 Ward Managers from 60 organisations across England.
- A total of 14 groups will be available with starting dates spread out between November 2024 and February 2026
