Supporting North West leaders with a renewed focus and commitment We were thrilled to announce the 2025 relaunch of the NHS North West Leadership Academy (NWLA) at this year’s Festival of Leadership. This relaunch has been shaped by your feedback over many months and our constant focus on membership engagement, as well as the changing national and regional priorities, such as the 10 year plan and the new Management and Leadership framework. Our renewed focus is clear, that we deliver with impact, make a meaningful difference, and demonstrate value for money across everything we do. At the heart of this relaunch is our commitment to supporting you, our leaders, so we can all continue to provide exceptional care to patients, service users and the communities we serve. While the NHS NWLA has for many years delivered cost-effective leadership support, the current climate demands a renewed emphasis on efficiency and value. This imperative will continue to shape our approach moving forward, ensuring that everything we deliver supports and enhances your priorities.
Clarification and simplification of the NHS NWLA’s offer The NHS NWLA has so many varied offers of support, but many of you asked for simplification and clarity, so you could be aware of all the opportunities. We have responded to this feedback in numerous ways, as identified below: • New simplified vision, mission and values to support this change and provide a more focused future direction VISION We develop compassionate and innovative leaders who drive the positive transformation of health and care in the North West. MISSION As a trusted partner, we empower leaders through tailored, cost-effective development and expertise. We are committed to shaping inclusive leaders who champion collaboration and foster innovative solutions to build healthier communities.

These will demonstrate your usage, engagement and value for money and be ready early 2026.
Be the region’s go to and provide thought leadership • We understand the need to provide you all with proactive support for the delivery of national priorities, such as the Management and Leadership Framework. Recent examples include organising a regional webinar, with the national lead, as well as the launch of new monthly regional NHS NWLA drop-in sessions. These are designed for you, so we can support and help with any questions or queries about national and regional priorities. • We recently hosted a Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) visit in September with the national leads for the new Clinical and Executive Leadership College. This college has been promised in the 10 Year Health Plan and we wanted to ensure that we are proactively involved. • We are delighted to announce the launch of series 2 of the Leadership Live podcast, celebrating our very own North West leaders and showcasing the regional expertise.
