This is the place where we all contribute towards leadership...

The NCA’s overarching vision is that we all work together at every level – system, service, team, and colleague to ensure our services are – ‘Saving Lives; Improving Lives’.

The NCA People Strategy recognises and encourages every member of our NCA Family to play their part in demonstrating leadership to shape and deliver excellent services and outcomes for patients and customers.

This site provides information about the High Performing Team Framework (HPTF) which connects teams, services and colleagues in a meaningful way to the NCA’s strategic priorities by engaging our people in shaping and improving services, focusing on four key areas:

Well-led & Managed; People & Learning; Service Excellence; Culture & Wellbeing.

The resources, tools and guidelines provided in the site are arranged under each of the four quadrants of the HPTF (click in each of the quadrants below), or arranged under the annual and monthly activities (in the navigation bar above and image towards the bottom of this page).
