The Rosalind Franklin programme is for clinicians or managers leading from the middle of health and care systems, aspiring to lead large and complex programmes, departments, services or systems of care.
It aims to help shape middle level leaders’ knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours to help them become outstanding, compassionate and inclusive leaders, working at all levels across the health and care system, to help improve services for people who access them. The Rosalind Franklin programme will support participants to be outstanding innovators, leaders, and team-members. Evidence shows that outstanding leadership in health and care has four key aspects: compassion, inclusion, collaboration, and knowledge of improvement skills and how to apply them. This programme will encourage participants to ask, and answer, fundamental questions that will support them to become an outstanding leader. The programme leads to an NHS Leadership Academy Award in Senior Healthcare Leadership.
