1 Governing Body / Sub Committee Paper Agenda Item: 13 Title of Report Board Development Programme Executive Summary Description of proposal The CCG has designed a development programme that brings together 3 strands of work. 1. Chair and Lay / independent clinical member development 2. Executive, clinical and whole Board development 3. Thematic workshop sessions The programme will therefore comprise a series of 1:1 coaching, facilitated sessions with groups or individuals and workshop sessions. These will focus on; the role of the Board and the roles of of the individual members the behaviours and actions required to demonstrate effective governance and assurance of quality Thematic sessions on key areas of NHS Policy eg procurement, mergers as well as compliance with legal duties e.g. Equality and Diversity and defensible decision making. Background The effectiveness of the CCG will to a large degree be determined by the leadership shown by the Board. There is a wealth of evidence to support this, and clear evidence to demonstrate where poor governance at Board level leads to failure (Mid Staffs for example) The development of the Board is one of the objectives of the CCGs Organisational Development Plan. This in turn will support the organisational health assessment as part of the national CCG Assurance Framework. Benefits / Intended Outcomes The programme will support the development of an effective, high performing Board. Actions Requested: The Board is asked to note the Board Development programme as set out. Impact Assessments: I can confirm the impact assessments set out at Appendix 1 have been undertaken and any potential non-compliance highlighted as appropriate.
