Leadership in Newcastle is about creating a culture and environment for people and teams to liberate their potential, to be their best selves and to be happy, healthy, and productive, enabling us to achieve our vision. We consider leadership a lifelong journey of experiences, learning and personal development.
Flourish Framework
Within our Flourish Framework, we aim to develop and support our leaders and teams to have:
- A discovery mindset (not a defensive mindset)
- Tools to develop and maintain the best versions of themselves at work (and in life)
- Healthy minds and bodies
- Create psychological safety
- A focus on improvement, innovation and creativity
They will be supported by a clear leadership approach, leadership behaviours and capability.

Leadership and Talent Management Strategy
The Leadership Development and Talent Management Strategy can be accessed here. It’s aims are to:
- Identify, nurture, and support the leadership and management capabilities and behaviours needed to embed a culture of relentlessly improving, compassionate, patient-centred care throughout the Trust.
- To further develop leadership capability and capacity, through a variety of development opportunities. These are available for all levels of leadership within the Trust, from managers and senior strategic leaders to emerging, new or aspiring leaders.
