To enhance leadership capabilities at all levels across the region, the NHS North West Leadership Academy (NHS NWLA) offers a wide range of support designed to help individuals grow as leaders. Whether someone prefers to learn independently, engage in peer discussions, or participate in a structured programme, there are options to suit all learning styles.

For those who wish to reflect and develop at their own pace, the NHS NWLA provides free self-assessments and practical leadership tools. These resources are intended to spark self-awareness and support everyday leadership development.

As part of its membership offer, the NHS NWLA also provides access to the Leadership Learning Zone, a flexible online platform offering a suite of on-demand modules tailored to both clinical and non-clinical leaders.

For individuals interested in exploring specific leadership topics in greater depth, the NHS NWLA curates a comprehensive selection of resources. These materials are shaped by expert insight and informed by experiences from previous programmes.

Those who thrive in facilitated group environments can take advantage of regular development workshops and Collaborative Masterclasses. These sessions create opportunities for leaders across health and care to come together to explore common challenges and opportunities.

For a structured and nationally recognised development pathway, the Mary Seacole Local programme offers a cost-effective and practical solution for building leadership capability alongside day-to-day work.

Additionally, the NHS NWLA hosts the annual Festival of Leadership, providing a unique in-person event where senior leaders from across the North West can connect, share ideas, and learn from one another.
