All members of NHS GM's senior leadership team are required to lead and inform complex transformation and improvement, through collaboration and mature partnership working.

This calls for individuals to use the power of influence rather than positional authority to engage and align people, focus their teams, sustain momentum, and ensure success.

Effective system leadership requires the full commitment and ability of senior leaders to create an environment of trust, inclusion, mutual respect, and shared aspiration, in which all can contribute fully and openly to achieving collective goals.


Competent senior system leaders will also be adept in engaging collective intelligence, expertise, and experience to deliver results across organisational boundaries, and will recognise that this requires a focus on relationships as much as results, through the medium of high-quality interaction with colleagues, partners, and external agencies.

A principal motivating force for achievement will come from a strong conviction in the underlying principles of subsidiarity and collaboration, combined with the fundamental and overriding desire to make positive contributions to a meaningful purpose.


NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care (NHS GM) is responsible for planning and allocating resources to meet the four core purposes of the Integrated Care System (ICS), namely: to improve outcomes in population health and healthcare; tackle inequalities in outcomes, experience, and access; enhance productivity and value for money; and help the NHS support broader social and economic development.

Within this context, as NHS GM develops as a statutory organisation, a significant challenge will be to determine how it effectively supports and enables place-based and local partnerships to take necessary action that will improve population health outcomes and reduce inequalities (i.e., the unfair and avoidable differences in health across the population, and between different groups within society).
