It is anticipated to include: time at a leading business school – early discussions with leading academic institutions are underway a six-month post with substantive responsibility at a top performing NHS trust and an industry placement with a top firm. Three quarters of those fast-tracked will be senior doctors and nurses, so clinicians will learn management and business skills both in academic courses and in placements at leading corporations. The other quarter of candidates will be talented individuals who come from outside the NHS - but who share its values - to inject new skills, ideas and leadership expertise into the health service. Due to start in spring 2014, successful candidates will be ready to take up board-level positions from early 2015. Competition for places will be exceptionally tough and candidates will continue to be rigorously assessed throughout the course. The course structure includes: Three-month executive education: includes intensive induction into the NHS for external entrants and rapid introduction to business management for clinical entrants. Seven-month learning from the best: six-months at a top NHS Trust; one-month industry placement. Continued career management: three-year chief executive career development strategy; coaching, mentoring, networking preparing candidates for a successful entry to the NHS New fast Track Programme announced by Secretary of State
