Sarah Ruane
Sarah Ruane is a GenerationQ Fellow and National Strategy Lead for Health at Sport England.

GenerationQ is our 18-month part time, funded leadership development programme for senior leaders in clinical and non-clinical roles from across the UK, representing the wide variety of sectors working in and with the health service, including provider, commissioner, policy, regulatory, third sector, local authority and charitable organisations.
The programme is designed to equip Fellows with the skills and techniques to lead and deliver improvements across services and organisations. Fellows will be joining a network of skilled and effective leaders who are able to have an impact on improving quality of care beyond their immediate sphere of influence.
The ninth cohort will be the final round of GenerationQ. The insights we have gathered from everyone who has been a part of the programme will prove invaluable over the coming year, as we consider new ideas and approaches to support leaders of health and social care.
For those completing a postgraduate certificate or diploma, we anticipate an average of 10–25 hours of personal study per month over the 18 months of the programme. For an MSc, the time period is extended to two years.
Fellows develop personal skills and strategies for resilience and the confidence to address the challenges of leading health care improvement
