Providing continuous development, the spaces and connections for this community to thrive collectively and to enhance our NHS leadership skills.

By investing in this community, the NHS NWLA aims to elevate professional development and leadership capability across all levels of the NHS North West.
The plan has been driven by four key focus areas, each designed to ensure long-term impact and inclusivity.
Over the next two years the NHS NWLA will deliver a suite of initiatives to bring this plan to life, some of which include: • Train-the-Trainer models for our mentor development programme and for coaching supervision support.
