Lead with confidence in a digital NHS

Digital is critical to addressing the biggest challenges in health and care — from improving access to care to enabling better decision-making.

To harness these opportunities, NHS boards and senior leaders play an important role in collectively leading the agenda, setting the right conditions, and creating a strategic vision for digital transformation. 

Our leadership development programme is designed to build confidence and equip leaders with the skills and shared vision to drive meaningful change. This programme is available free of charge to all NHS trusts, thanks to funding from NHS England through the NHS Digital Academy programmes and it is delivered in partnership with Public Digital. 

This programme is designed to help you:
  • Collectively lead digital transformation with confidence and clarity,

  • Make informed decisions that deliver real impact,

  • Provide assurance around digital risks and investment, and

  • Maximise digital as a driver of system-wide improvement.
