The leadership structure reporting into the senior divisional team is a Clinical Directorate model. This divisional leadership model ensures that professional accountability reports through the professional leadership structure, with operational accountability via the senior team to the Chief Operating Officer. The Chief Pharmacist and the Director of Regional Physics continue to report directly to the COO. Table 1. Clinical Divisional Structure and Leadership

5 Leadership Development Development of our clinicians in leadership positions is essential to ensure that we are well led, continually learning, and evolving our practice to meet the strategic aims of The Christie and NHS overall. Significant investment has been made recently to fund courses and programmes for new or aspiring senior/middle leaders. All new Clinical Leads are invited to participate in the regional Emerging Frontline Clinical Care Leaders 9-month programme. The Chief Nurse Leadership Award has supported a number of Nurses and AHPs to undertake Masters level study in leadership, alongside the Level 7 apprenticeship that our non-clinical managers can also undertake. The Christie Leadership Series runs quarterly and aims to provide CPD for leadership skills and behaviours. HR & School of Oncology are collaborating with the Responsible Officer to identify opportunities and resources to establish peer-to-peer development, reflective, collective leadership practice, and behaviour-focused learning required to meet the needs of the organisation. Speciality Group Leadership Clinical leadership for the new models for cancer planning and service delivery within the integrated care system will be through cancer pathway specific Speciality Boards. A cancer-site specific Speciality Group model is being developed at The Christie to mirror the system-based Speciality Boards, and provide clinical leadership across services for the multi-disciplinary teams providing care for a cancer type (e.g. breast cancer, colorectal 6

cancer, lung cancer etc). Speciality Groups will be responsible for: • defining standards of care and driving service improvement
