Second Annual NHS Leadership and Management Summit

There is growing evidence that securing greater engagement of staff in management, leadership and service improvement leads to higher quality of care and greater productivity.

This year, the summit will focus on the theme of our 2012 Review of Leadership in the NHS: leadership for engagement in health care. The summit will focus on engagement and relationship building with:

• boards
• staff
• patients and the public
• partner organisations.

Why you should attend

The event will share with you case studies and recommendations around:

• engaging leadership across your organisation
• managing organisations in transition
• influencing organisations across systems of care
• engaging junior doctors
• engaging staff in improving performance.

The King's Fund Commission on Leadership and Management in the NHS 'No more heroes', launched at the inaugural NHS Leadership and Management Summit in 2011, challenges some of the negative attitudes towards managers, and questions current plans for major reductions in management and administration costs. The commission's report concluded that the challenges facing the NHS require leaders to engage with staff and those outside their organisation in different ways. A distributed leadership approach is needed – one that moves away from the concept of the superhero chief executive toward leadership which is demonstrated at all levels and across organisational boundaries.

In 2012 we are building on this work and instigating a further review on the theme of leadership for engagement. The new work will encompass engagement and relationship-building across a range of dimensions within the NHS including leaders engaging staff, the public and patients; and NHS leaders engaging partner organisations in developing leadership across systems of care in order to:

• understand/clarify the value of engaging leadership in the NHS
• provide case studies and recommendations to support the further development of leadership for engagement in the NHS.

The final report from the review will be launched at the second annual NHS Leadership and Management summit. The summit will also explore what leadership skills and qualities support the development of new organisations and working across sector and professional boundaries to improve local health outcomes.

8.00-8.30am: Arrival and breakfast
8.30-9.15am: Workshop

Leading Across Boundaries - Practical ideas in applying the NHS Leadership Framework

The NHS Leadership Framework provides guidance as to the competencies required by NHS Leaders but it is the practical application of these competencies that will lead to sustainable success and change.

Drawing on experience with London Clinical Commissioning Group’s and the wider NHS context, this Breakfast Workshop led by The BDO Alliance will illustrate how the building of trust, combined with world class leadership skills and the application of behavioural change strategies can deliver on the challenge.

Fresh, challenging and provocative yet highly practical and with a focus on the ‘real life’ NHS that only those that work in it can appreciate, the BDO Alliance Breakfast Workshop will provide real and instantly applicable examples bringing life to how the NHS Leadership Framework can be translated into approaches to achieving these most important of goals.

Professor of Leadership, Bradford University

Beverly has an international reputation in the field of leadership studies - an area of interest for over 30 years. She is passionate about embedding ethical leadership throughout organisations, and in supporting individuals and organisations in strengthening their capacity for engagement, collaboration, innovation, leading change, and effectiveness.

As a result of her reputation she has undertaken numerous advisory roles for the UK government including the expert advisory panel of the National Health Service's QIPP, Police, National College for School Leadership, as well as the Academic Advisory Panel of the Chartered Management Institute. She is currently a member of the Government's "Guru Group" in relation to the Macleod Review on Employee Engagement, and is a Patron of Women in Management.

She has been working closely with the NHS and wider public and private sectors in research, postgraduate teaching, and leadership development since 1984 when she joined the Nuffield Institute for Health, University of Leeds. In 2001, while holding the Chair of Leadership Studies at the Nuffield Institute she conducted a 3-year ground-breaking research study into the nature of leadership. This led to the creation of a University of Leeds spin-out company, Real World Group. The company enables her to continue research into leadership, culture, and diversity, create robust diagnostic instruments; and undertake major leadership and cultural transformation projects across organisations.

Recently, she and colleagues together with King's College London, completed a longitudinal research study funded by the Department of Health, which identified the link between particular leadership culture and the effectiveness of multi-professional teams in health. This is one of the first studies ever undertaken to show a direct causal link between leadership and productivity.

Beverly is now Professor of Leadership Studies at the University of Bradford, School of Management. She spends much of her time writing articles and presenting at conferences nationally and internationally.
