We wanted to inform you that the highly sought after Ready Now programme, which aims to promote diversity and inclusion throughout the health and care sector is now opened for recruitment. Applications are via the national NHS Leadership Academy and are open to BAME leaders working in Bands 8a and above.
The Programme
This year-long programme from the national NHS Leadership Academy seeks to provide a leadership experience that can assist participants to effectively and sustainably develop their leadership ability and address the particular challenges that BAME leaders face. The programme is not just about the development of individuals; it is an initiative designed to influence the development of more inclusive cultures in the NHS as a whole.
“There is a clear link between having a racially representative workforce at every level, and the ability of the NHS to deliver quality patient care. Additionally, being able to meet future challenges, such as reducing health inequalities and having ever higher levels of staff engagement cannot be achieved without racial inclusion at senior levels.” Tracie Jolliff, Head of inclusion & systems leadership, NHS Leadership Academy.
