Leadership is not a person or a position. It is a complex moral relationship between people, based on trust, obligation, commitment, emotion, and a shared vision of the good. (Ciulla, 1998:1)
NTH leaders will lead by living our CARE values at all times. They will empower, support and value our people to be the best they can be.
The leadership charter sets out the expectations of all our leaders, regardless of their profession, status or job role.

The resilience at work model (also known as the ‘Sustain 7’) has seven components that contribute to our personal, leadership and team resilience.
Neuroscience tells us the more resources we have, the better equipped we are to manage both adverse situations and everyday demands.
The idea is then that we invest in as many of the seven components as we can.
This session will allow attendees to reflect upon their own resilience, offering suggestions on how to build their resilience further. Click here for Resilience Q1 or scan the QR codes.
This training session will provide an overview in how to respond and approach discussions with people about their wellbeing.
The session will use the REACT approach which is Respond, Engage, Actively listen, Check risk, Talk.
To address:
Common mental health causes
Raising awareness of traumatic events
Creating an understanding of moral injury
You will leave the session knowing how and when to conduct wellbeing conversations with hints and tips to opening the conversation.

We are pleased to offered our managers an opportunity to have a training session to explore the process of having difficult or challenging conversations with your people.
A difficult conversation is one whose primary subject matter is potentially contentious and/or sensitive and may elicit strong, complex emotions that can be hard to predict or control.
We aim to give you a pragmatic approach that you could use for these conversations along with a useful process and practical hints and tips to get the best outcome for everyone.
The session is delivered face to face and is a pilot of a new approach and you will be asked for feedback following completion of the training to shape future training formats.
The session aims to provide you with;
An ability to explore how your own ‘state’ has an impact on how we approach and react to constructive conversations
Knowledge and practical skills of how to constructively manage difficult or challenging situations
An understanding of how to make challenging conversations more productive and less draining
