The 19th March 2024 marks the final occasion that the NHS South East Leadership Academy will host the regional network meeting for Leadership Development, Organisational Development and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Professionals working in Health and Care. This meeting bids farewell to the NHS South East Leadership Academy as aspects of their work transitions into the wider Workforce Training and Education directorate within NHS England.
We invite all network members to join us from 12.00 – 13.30 to connect with colleagues from across the region to spend time together to share current challenges and successes.
This meeting will also be an opportunity to celebrate the work of the NHS South East Leadership Academy team since the NHS Leadership Academy was formed in 2012. We invite all network members to join us reflect on our journey since we were established across Thames Valley and Wessex and Kent, Surrey and Sussex. We hope to mark some of our achievements, celebrate our impact and remember colleagues who have contributed to our profession.
We know you are keen to maintain the network beyond the end of March 2024, we will make some time to explore potential options to sustain this regional opportunity to connect.

During the meeting we would like to give you the opportunity to share some of your experience of connecting and working with the Leadership Academy in the South East over the past 12 years. You may like to share a personal message, a memory or an achievement enabled by the academy. We are also keen to hear your thoughts on the impact the team’s work has made within your organisation and perhaps more broadly across your system.

The Flexible Working Team, together with colleagues from NHS Employers and Unison would like to invite you to a dedicated session on the complex scenarios that often arise around flexible working.
In June’s session we asked Flexible Working Network members what support they needed to implement flexible working in their organisations and teams and support with these ‘knotty issues’ was requested.
This session will explore some of the trickier scenarios that occur with flexible working e.g. accommodating flexible working requests in smaller teams, and talk these through using examples developed by NHS Employers, Staff Council and trade union colleagues.
We will be looking for attendees to share their experience in navigating these challenges as well as input on any other frequently occurring issues that require further support. Detailed agenda to follow.

Please join us at our next Flexible Working Network event. This network will allow for engaging discussion, sharing of ideas and exploring of the ‘wicked issues’ and challenges facing the implementation of flexibility across the NHS. It is open to NHS colleagues with an interest in helping us to embed flexibility, and provides an opportunity for two way communication.
Following feedback at the last Network event, this session will focus on E-rostering/Self-rostering and how the technology alongside collaborative team processes can enable and support a flexible working culture.
