Management & Leadership Framework Drop-In Session 4
2026-04-08 10:00 - 11:00
What is the Framework?
The Management and Leadership Framework responds to reviews of leadership in health and care, including the 2022 Messenger Review, 2019 Kark Review, and supports the implementation of the 10 Year Health Plan for England.
Delivery of the 10 Year Plan objectives, and assuring safe and effective health and care services, requires NHS managers and leaders who are confident, capable, and focused on the evolving needs of staff, patients, and communities. The framework will offer a consistent approach to current and future NHS managers and leaders. It will apply to all managers and leaders, across all roles and organisation types.
The Framework currently consists of:

The management & leadership code: the principles and behaviours required of all managers and leaders across the health and care system
The standards: the essential competencies needed for management and leadership – at every level, and in every role type.

What will the drop in offer?
Since September 2025 many organisations have joined weekly Socialisation Sessions hosted by the NHSE team leading this crucial work. We understand that not all organisations have been able to attend these, and some may have opted to “watch and wait” as the work progressed. These Drop-In Sessions will offer those supporting the strategic roll out of this work within their own organisations, providing space to explore the framework, ask questions, and hear form others about their approaches and actions so far.
The Drop-in will not offer guidance to individuals wanting to explore the framework for their own use. Support for individuals will come from your employing organisation as the framework and supporting tools are launched.
Audience
These sessions are open to staff from organisations who have been part of Socialisation Phase, and those who are just beginning to explore next steps in their organisation :

Supporting the framework implementation within your organisation
Supporting leadership development within your organisation
Supporting delivery of appraisal processes within your organisation

Those who attend drop-in sessions will be given access to the framework micro-site to support their strategic reflections and planning for implementation
