About Developing Leaders
There can be few organisations as large, complex and fast-changing as the NHS. Likewise, few organisations match The King's Fund for its independence and integrated approach to improving the health system, drawing on the very best leadership, policy and service improvement expertise.
What constitutes really effective leadership? How do you develop it? Where do the best leaders come from?
These are questions we ask every day to ensure the support and challenge we offer through our wide range of programmes, interventions and networks helps leaders to think differently, work differently, behave differently.
We are always anticipating the skills leaders will need in the new environment, helping them prepare, not only for their role today, but for the challenges they will face tomorrow.
Karen Lynas, Director of Leadership, The King's Fund
The NHS is changing in major ways: patients' expectations are changing; technology is radically altering the way the NHS functions; the commissioning agenda creates new relationships and challenges; health care staff are working increasingly with other organisations and industries.
In this context, our leadership programmes and the way we deliver them also have to change. We are developing new ways of working with existing and aspiring leaders in order to develop their potential to the full.
In all that we do, we make sure that this and the next generation of leaders are ready for the complex, conflicting demands and excitement of running the NHS.
If you would like to talk to us about your training and development needs, please get in touch. We'd be delighted to talk to you.
