1. News from Yorkshire & the Humber Leadership Academy “ Heads Up” - May 2015

2. Welcome The last few weeks have seen the team very much in planning mode with a finalised budget and a renegotiated service level agreement with the National Leadership Academy, we have been working to ensure that our resource is matched to the priorities. The good news is that we are much clearer about activity and this means that we are able to provide you with a longer range view of the coming year. The Regional Leadership Council met in April and spent some time discussing and agreeing the priority areas of the regional leadership and organisation development offer which is currently delivered by us with funding from the LETB. While discussions are still ongoing, it was agreed that we should continue to invest in the successful and growing Co-Creation Network which although still in its infancy is yielding active Communities of Practice engaged in a variety of improvement and development activity at a grass roots level. Other areas of specific interest include Systems Leadership and support to those sites that were not successful in their Vanguard bids. We are considering these areas and others and would welcome your views on what should be the focus for regional leadership and organisation development. The month has seen us move to a new address (we are now based with our colleagues in Health Education Yorkshire and Humber at Willow Terrace, University of Leeds) and some staff changes. We say goodbye to Lynsey Nicholson who leaves the team to take up a well deserved promotion at Airedale NHS FT and welcome Debra Singleton who will be replacing Lynsey. Debra is currently working hard to hit the ground running with all things GMTS. Myself and the team would like to say a very big thank you to Christine Bain – Chief Executive of Rotherham, Doncaster and South Humber FT and Chair of the RLC. Chris has served as the Chair for the last 3 years and has been an invaluable champion for the leadership and organisation development agenda and how it is delivered on behalf of our region. Her contribution has been substantial and highly valued. We wish her the very best as she moves to explore a new career path. Chris will be succeeded as Chair by Louise Barnett – Chief Executive of Rotherham NHS FT and we would like to extend a warm welcome to Louise. We are a regional resource that works to support local organisations through the delivery of leadership and organisation development activity that makes sense to do at a regional level, which adds value and is relevant to local needs and priorities. Heads Up is our way of communicating with stakeholders and we value any and all feedback from you. Kathryn Winterburn Head of Leadership & Organisation Development @YHLeadershipOD

Business Planning 2015-16 The Service Level Agreement with the National Leadership Academy is made up of the following areas: Models & Frameworks Core Programmes NHS Graduate Training Scheme Talent Management Coaching & Mentoring Communications & Engagement (including the Regional Leadership Recognition Awards) Organisation Development While there are key deliverables within each of these areas, there is plenty of scope to work with stakeholders, leadership leads, OD leads, HR Directors and others to ensure leadership development activity undertaken by us aligns with yours. See the next page for an indicative calendar of planned activity, this is not quite the complete picture as more activity is planned we will update and share widely with you.
