Celebrating the Success of the NELA Leadership Conference: Future Focussed Leadership
We’re delighted to share that last week’s NELA Leadership Conference: Future Focussed Leadership was a great success, with a fantastic turnout of over 80 attendees from across the North East and North Cumbria region.
The day had a positive feel – people were pleased to come together in person, and there was a real sense of energy and connection.
The conference centred around the NHS Management and Leadership Code – Self, Team, Organisational, and Wider System focus – offering fresh perspectives on how we can grow our leadership impact and contribute to effective, safe healthcare systems.

Systems Collaborative Programme – Cohort 2
What is the System Collaborative Programme?
The Systems Collaborative Programme empowers collaboratives (small groups working for a common purpose) to transform health and care services by fostering collaboration across sectors. When the NHS, local authorities, voluntary organisations, and local partners work together, they create more effective, responsive care based on local needs.
The programme is designed for collaboratives striving to improve population health and inequalities by working across organisational boundaries and helps teams develop the collaborative leadership skills needed to tackle challenges, build trust, and deliver better health outcomes for their communities.
