Aspirant Executive
Nurse Leader
Programme
Aspirant Executive Nurse Leader Programme
• Develop leadership capability of
nurses who were perceived to have
the potential to be appointed as
Executive nurses within eighteen to
twenty four months
• Develop gravitas as well as
knowledge.
• Understanding the nature of
strategic leadership
• Understanding emotional labour
and its impact on gravitas is
evident for influence
• Positioning Nursing to make the
maximum contribution to
organisational and public goals
• Develop critical leadership thinking
to produce more effective Nursing
outcomes.
17
Aspirant Course Evaluation – Recommendations
• Leadership development focused on specific senior nurse roles
should be offered.
• New models of leadership need to be explored and students
equipped with a toolkit of leadership behaviours.
• Debate is an effective way of triggering the mechanisms require
to develop leadership capabilities
• Explicitly develop the knowledge base to:
• Create and promote professional nursing practice environments
• Add value to the delivery of organisational goals
Influence in many areas…. My learning
• As a Leader, need to influence others & wider agendas
• Understand limitations – but know who to ask!
• Encourage people to get involved in activities –
• NMC/RCN/NHSI/NHS England etc.
• Develop self and develop others – coaching & mentoring
• The value of relationships
• Visibility is key – also gives assurance around processes
• Give people a voice – sometimes people need permission to act/learn
NHS England & NHSI ongoing work….
• Each region has its own financially supported programme,
• Tailor made intensive development programmes.
• Increase the supply of 'Ready Now' Directors of Nursing includes a specific focus
on leadership for inclusion and diversity as well as integrated working.
• Talent Management and leadership programmes have now expanded
• To ensure we have leaders at all levels.
• More recently, more programmes have been developed for developing talent in
other parts of the workforce for example
• Developing newly qualified band 5 nurses - a pilot run through March 2019 by
Florence Nightingale Foundation. focus on nurturing leadership talent early to
promote aspirations and retention.
• Career oversight and coaching/ mentorship for nurses from a BAME background
within Band 8c positions and above.
• The Minerva programme , aimed at retaining talent of retired , credible DoNs
• Build the talent line framework of 2019/20 and beyond , in line with thinking and
needs of the workforce, ensuring it contributes to the LTP objectives.

Editor's Notes

  • #20 NHSE / NHSI have been running a National talent management and leadership programmes for over two years, in partnership with the leadership academy. Talent Management and leadership programmes have now expanded Include ward/team leaders, matrons, aspiring Deputy DONs, new and aspiring Heads of Midwifery and Directors of Midwifery. More recently, more programmes have been developed for developing talent in other parts of the workforce for example Developing newly qualified band 5 nurses - a pilot run through March 2019 by Florence Nightingale Foundation. focus on nurturing leadership talent early to promote aspirations and retention. Career oversight and coaching/ mentorship for nurses from a BAME background within Band 8c positions and above. The Minerva programme , aimed at retaining talent of retired , credible DoNs . Developing an NHSE/ I register of experience that then can be called upon by trusts to support existing DoNs who may be experiencing difficulties in their role. Aim is to retain some of our most precious talent and use this to nurture our existing most senior nurses. Work with the incoming Chief People office to build the talent line framework of 2019/20 and beyond , in line with contemporary thinking and needs of the workforce, ensuring it contributes to the LTP objectives.
