Wirral University Teaching Hospital’s Blueprint for Success with NHS North West Leadership Academy
striving for a gold standard in leadership through the leadership for all framework
Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (WUTH), strives for a gold standard in leadership through its Leadership for All framework. Partnering with the NHS North West Leadership Academy (NHS NWLA), WUTH has cultivated a values-driven, inclusive leadership culture that supports talent at every level.
The Leadership for All framework is a structured pathway to develop leaders across five tiers: Leading Self, Teams, Services, Organisations, and Systems. This approach aligns with national leadership standards while reflecting the hospital’s values. Supporting this framework is WUTH’s Harnessing Talent program, offering diverse growth opportunities for current and future leaders.

A cornerstone of WUTH’s success is its membership with NHS NWLA
This close membership has provided access to expert facilitators through streamlined procurement for leadership development and offered bespoke coaching and mentoring. Notably, NHS NWLA’s Coaching and Mentoring Hub enables WUTH leaders to connect with regionally diverse, experienced coaches. This impartial guidance has proven invaluable, particularly during crises, enhancing resilience and strategic thinking. The partnership’s impact extends beyond individual growth to measurable organisational benefits. WUTH’s staff survey scores improved in areas such as learning, development, and line management. Additionally, Deloitte’s recent assessment praised WUTH’s comprehensive leadership framework as exemplary.
To sustain this momentum, WUTH plans to expand its coaching and mentoring initiatives, including leveraging NHS NWLA’s hub for in-house coach integration. By embedding leadership excellence throughout its culture, WUTH aims to empower every staff member to lead, ensuring long- term success for the organisation and the community it serves.
