Welcome from the Group Chief People Officer
I am delighted to welcome you to our Learning Prospectus—a guide designed to support our people as we navigate a period of significant and positive change across our Trust. As we evolve to meet the needs of our patients, our communities, and our workforce, our commitment to learning, development, and compassionate leadership remains at the heart of everything we do.
In the months ahead, you will see updates to this directory that reflect the transformation underway within our organisation. These changes will create new opportunities, new ways of working, and new expectations—making it more important than ever that every colleague has access to the knowledge, skills, and support needed to thrive.
Central to this is the developing NHS Leadership and Management Framework, which sets a national standard for what excellent leadership within the NHS looks like. As the framework builds, a rich range of national development resources will become available—strengthening our collective capability, supporting career progression, and ensuring our leaders at every level are equipped to guide compassionate, inclusive, and high‑performing teams.
This prospectus brings together the learning pathways, programmes, and resources currently available to you, and will be regularly refreshed as our Trust’s structure and priorities evolve. Whether you are stepping into leadership for the first time, expanding your professional expertise, or seeking to deepen your impact, we are committed to helping you grow.
Thank you for everything you do for our patients, our colleagues, and our communities. I look forward to continuing this journey of development and change with you.
Best wishes,
Heather Barnett,
Group Chief People Officer
