Meet the Team
We are the South West Leadership & Talent Team at NHS England. We work closely with our most senior leaders across the region to create visibility of talent pools, review succession plans and continue to identify future successors and pools towards leadership and critical roles.
The Leadership Development and Talent Management agenda in the South West (SW) aims to support this through our focus on compassionate, inclusive, and effective leaders who feel supported to reach their full potential.
