Leadership and talent

A group of three people stand in front of a wall covered in brightly coloured graffiti all looking at one laptop and discussing what's on the screen.

Developing compassionate, inclusive leaders across health and care.

Leadership and talent

Evidence shows that quality of care and organisational performance are directly affected by the quality of leadership and the improvement cultures that leaders create.

We are committed to developing colleagues working across health and care to be inclusive, compassionate leaders to drive safe, high quality care for the local communities we serve.

This page provides information, videos and wider resources to support the development of colleagues working in health and care across Humber and North Yorkshire.

The Coaching Network

Coaching has huge benefits – 80% of people who have been coached report increased self-confidence and over 70% said they benefitted from improved work performance, relationships and more effective communication skills.

Coaching is free, confidential and is available for colleagues working across health and care in Humber and North and West Yorkshire.

The three most common areas colleagues seek to work with a coach to explore are:

career development
leadership
communication

A group of people sit together in a circle listening to someone explain how coaching works.
