The key challenge faced by different organisations is to nurture a culture that ensures the delivery of continuous improvement of high quality as well as safe and compassionate healthcare. Leadership is the most influential factor in shaping organisational culture.
Therefore, it is fundamental to ensure the necessary leadership behaviour strategies and qualities are developed. We currently have different leadership offers to support our Primary Care leaders and managers at all levels within the multidisciplinary workforce. Our programme offer is focused on design and delivery and the impact on the individual (I), team working (We), organisation and the system (Us) of healthcare delivery.

Midlands Leadership Academy are supporting the use of the DiSC tool to support the development of teams. The use of this tool will help the individual team members understand their own preferences and provides a baseline for supporting wider understanding across a team. DiSC is self-assessment psychometric tool delivered through the Wiley “Everything DiSC” system in partnership with The Fruitful Toolbox. This tool uses adaptive testing to ensure results are consistent with the model and has high levels of reliability, validity and credibility. DiSC profiles describe human behaviour in various situations and provides additional insight into yourself and your colleagues, including how you interact as a team.
