Our Leadership Way

Our Leadership way sets out what great leadership looks like at every level and how we create the Oxleas difference, through leading with personal impact, building compassionate, inclusive, high performing teams and delivering excellent patient care.

Our leadership way has a supporting framework that sets out the behaviours and competencies required for the different levels of leadership. Our leadership way is aligned to the newly launched NHS Management and Leadership standards and codes of practice which all leaders across the NHS are expected to work towards. Whether you are a clinical manager or a non clinical manager. They are the set of standards and behaviours we want everyone to work towards.
