There are currently 27 Systems Leadership pilot programmes, supported by the Department of Health and other funders, around the country, which are overseen by the Leadership Centre. We are currently in the process of taking applications for more programmes. I have joined in order to knit together the components of the programme; to build the evidence base and collate the achievements of, and learning from, the Systems Leadership and allied programmes; to help broaden the reach and profile of Systems Leadership across public services, communities and sectors; and to make the case - qualitative and quantitative - for Systems Leadership to show how it can improve outcomes for citizens and communities. We want to embed Systems Leadership in the wider systems of health, care and well-being, so that we can have viable, sustainable and integrated services in line with the ambitions set out in the Care Act.
