Leading the way to a diverse leadership workforce

That’s what Breaking Through is all about, and it works by identifying, supporting and guiding people from black and minority ethnic (BME) backgrounds with the talent and potential essential to assuming senior leadership roles.

The Programme leads the agenda but allows individuals to lead their own development with opportunities to design personal development plans based on clear and objective diagnostic tools, development activities that support career planning and progression and the development of leadership skills and capabilities, as well as providing a platform for the issues facing BME staff in the NHS.

For the last 5 years, Breaking Through has been quietly helping to change a changing NHS, itself evolving to stay abreast of ongoing change.

The Top Talent Programme is designed to provide a comprehensive development approach to help equip senior BME leaders with the skills to excel at Board level and fast track their thinking to director level.

During the course of this programme, we will work closely with all participants to understand the nature of these tensions and help them realise their own invaluable contribution to redressing the balance.
