NHS England has appointed the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) to lead a project with the Faculty of Medical Leadership & Management (FMLM), and the Florence Nightingale Foundation (FNF) to create a new NHS Management and Leadership Framework. 

The new multi-disciplinary framework will provide clear expectations of managers and leaders working across the service. A Code of Practice for all NHS and social care managers and leaders will also be developed through this work.

Responding to comments made by the Health and Social Care Secretary, Wes Streeting, at the NHS Providers conference regarding the creation of a new College, Professor Rich Withnall, Chief Executive of the Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management, said:

“FMLM welcomes more steps to professionalise and standardise the quality of clinical leadership and management. The Secretary of State’s announcement of the creation of a ‘College of Executive and Clinical Leadership’ will help do that. 

Responding to the findings of the General Medical Council’s National State of Training survey 2024, Professor Rich Withnall, Chief Executive of the Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management, said

Responding to the announcement from the Department of Health and Social Care of 350 extra medical school places from 2025/26, Professor Rich Withnall, Chief Executive Officer of the Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management said

As the home of clinical leadership in the UK, FMLM has been invited to give its views on the current situation and what needs to change to strengthen leadership, accountability, and patient safety.

The UKHACC brings together Britain's leading health institutions, representing over 900,000 health professionals, to advocate for responses to climate change that protect and promote health.

Commenting on the review of health and care leadership by General Sir Gordon Messenger and Dame Linda Pollard, Mr Peter Lees MBE, FMLM Chief Executive, said:

Commenting on Don Berwick's findings, FMLM medical director Mr Peter Lees said: “The Berwick Report describes an NHS I easily recognise – it is profound, pulls no punches, is humane and pragmatic.

FMLM fully supports the approach and findings of Professor Sir Bruce Keogh KBE’s recently published review into the quality of care at 14 hospital NHS trusts.
