Leading for better healthcare

The Health Foundation believes that effective leadership is central to improving the quality and performance of healthcare. Yet surprisingly little is known about how different approaches to leadership development can contribute to tangible and sustained improvements in organisational performance.

The Health Foundation is testing different approaches to improving leadership in healthcare through a £20 million programme over five years. Through distinctive award schemes, the Foundation is supporting some of the best and brightest healthcare leaders, individually and in teams, and evaluating the most effective ways to invest in leadership development.
