Developing leaders in health and care for the future
For uninterrupted leadership in our integrated health and care systems, succession planning is vital. For a seamless continuum of leadership, we need to identify, recruit and develop our clinical and care professional leaders now.
We can do this by changing the culture in health and care so that our organisations do the following:
Develop the best staff
- Recognise talent
- Value differences
- Avoid education bias
- Share learning across the whole system
Support resilient leadership
- Support educators and students
- Develop career pathways within systems
- Encourage mutual respect
- Enable career movement within the system
- Develop seamless leadership
