Board leadership programme

Effective behaviour in the boardroom

What sort of behaviours should we be seeing in the boardroom? Find out with our new article on successful board leadership and our exclusive video of a chair and two non-executive directors reflecting on their own experiences of board leadership.

What does the programme offer?

The programme has four modules to provide timely content and stimulate relevant discussion. Covering policy-specific and London-specific issues, it assists busy board members in staying up-to-date with the latest issues in health care. For non-executive directors who are new to the health world, the programme offers introductory sessions on finance and the NHS.

The programme includes:

• opportunities to hear first hand from policy experts
• a chance for board members to share their learning during the sessions and connect informally afterwards
• flexiblity to meet the emerging needs of individuals and organisations
• opportunities to enhance the contribution of chairs' and non-executive directors’ work on specific issues affecting London
• a forum whereby chairs and non-executive directors are supported and enabled to make an enhanced contribution towards improving board effectiveness, corporate governance and the development of unitary boards.

The combination of practical learning, experiential learning and informed debate aims to provide non-executive board members with the competencies to meet the challenges and complexities around the radical changes in the NHS.

Chairs and non-executive directors are invited to put together their own portfolio of learning. For many non-executive directors this is done in consultation with their chairs and may be discussed in their appraisal process.
