Provision of Education Input into to the NHS Graduate Management Training Scheme 2018 – Policy and Strategy Scheme

Tender description

The NHS Leadership Academy (the Academy) is the current home for the NHS Graduate Management Training Scheme (GMTS). Set up in July 2012, the Academy brings together, for the first time, all national activity supporting leadership development in health and NHS funded services. The principal purpose of the Academy is to develop outstanding leadership in health, to improve people’s health and their experiences of the NHS. The challenges facing the NHS require our leaders to build on their existing strengths - and develop new ones. Our philosophy is simple – great leadership development improves leadership behaviours and skills. Better leadership leads to better patient care, experience and outcomes. Our purpose is to work with our partners to deliver excellent leadership across the NHS to have a direct impact on patient care. We offer a range of tools, models, programmes and expertise to support individuals, organisations and local academies to develop leaders, celebrating and sharing where outstanding leadership makes a real difference. The aim of the GMTS is to identify and recruit top graduate talent and develop them into the next generation of healthcare leaders. It is an award-winning scheme which has been running for 60 years. A selection of some of its received awards can be found here: http://www.nhsgraduates.co.uk/the-scheme/what-we-offer-you/#tab-award-winning The Scheme is hugely oversubscribed, and in 2015, we received over 16,500 applications for approximately 112 places.
