NEY Leadership Academy Systems Collaborative Programme - APPLICATIONS OPEN
Commencing in December 2024, the programme is aimed at collaboratives – groups of 3-7 members working together to lead initiatives that improve health outcomes for your staff, population and community. Collaboratives can be multidisciplinary, cross-organisational, or cross-agency and programme is open to anyone working within the health and care system, regardless of grade, profession and employer.
The key benefit of the programme is that it offers experiential learning while working on an improvement in real time, through a mixture of group learning sessions and ring-fenced time for collaboratives to work on their project with an experienced organisational development facilitator, and has previously resulted in tangible outcomes that improve population health and tackle inequalities by developing collaborative leadership skills and building trust across organisational boundaries.
Past projects have included the development of workforce and primary care pharmacy strategies, Eden Together (a health outreach hub) and the establishment of integrated neighbourhood teams.
A briefing session is taking place at 9am on 17 October for those interested in learning more about the programme. Led by our programme faculty, this session offers potential participants the opportunity to find out more about the programme, ask questions and check that it is the right development for them. Applications close on 1 November 2024.
Please see the programme information pack, which includes information on the programme, briefing session and applications process. This information can also be found on the Leadership Academy website.

Hosted by Sheffield Hallam University on behalf of NHS England in the North East and Yorkshire, the Integrated Clinical and Practitioner Academic Internship scheme is now open for applications for our next intake which will commence on 5th February 2025 and complete in October 2025.
About the Internship opportunity The Internship is the foundation programme of the NIHR Integrated Clinical and Practitioner Academic career development pathway, please see: https://www.nihr.ac.uk/explore-nihr/academy-programmes/hee-nihr-integrated-clinical-and-practitioner-academic-programme.htm .
The 2024/25 internship cohort is open to an expanded group of registered health professionals (excluding doctors and dentists) including nurses, midwives, allied health professions, pharmacists and healthcare scientists. Applicants will be working in the NHS England North East and Yorkshire region, normally within an NHS organisation (or an organisation providing NHS services), however we are keen to widen this to registered professionals employed in other settings (e.g. social care).
The Internship offers a range of on campus and online teaching sessions combined with the opportunity to undertake a research project or knowledge mobilisation initiative supported by an expert clinical academic supervisor, or to undertake a project related to development of research culture within and across teams. The key components to the internship programme are:
- A Planned Research Experience (30 days) supported by supervision and research mentorship where appropriate.
- A Learning Package comprising of 2 days face to face learning (Sheffield Hallam University) and 4 half days of online learning.
Funding has been secured to support our next cohort in 2025 and the employers of successful applicants will receive £10,000 for the intern’s backfill and to support research expenses. The employing organisation of the clinical mentors (where required) will receive an additional £1200 to support their costs.
An application form is attached to this email. Full details of the programme and the eligibility criteria can be found at https://www.shu.ac.uk/study-here/options/health-and-social-care/integrated-clinical-academic-programme-internship-scheme
