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, in order 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: [nhsgraduates.co.uk](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. In 2016, we received 16,500 applications for approximately 130 places; to start in September 2017. During the 60 years the GMTS has been in existence, approximately 4,450 people have started it. The current and previous Chief Executive of NHS England is an alumnus of the GMTS. The purpose of the NHS Graduate Management Training Scheme is to identify, grow and support the future leaders of the NHS. Great leadership development improves leadership behaviors and skills. Better leadership leads to better patient care, experience and outcomes. It is essential that the graduate scheme provides the NHS with future leaders who can demonstrate the personal qualities and will have the required values and behaviors, key skills, and energy that will be required to provide a new world class, patient-led healthcare system for England. The NHS needs emerging leaders who are skilled at: • Inspiring Shared Purpose - Valuing a service ethos; curious about how to improve services and patient care; behaving in a way that reflects the principles and values of the NHS • Leading with Care - Having the essential personal qualities for leaders in health and social care; understanding the unique qualities and needs of a team; providing a caring, safe environment to enable everyone to do their jobs effectively • Evaluating Information - Seeking out varied information; using information to generate new ideas and make effective plans for improvement or change; making evidence-based Read full description ## CPV classification Research and development services and related consultancy services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/d88675f6-5d12-49d9-adb5-23fe919db157) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
