Training and development
With effect from 1 April 2008, the Appointments Commission passed responsibility for on-going training and development of chairs and non-executives to the ten Strategic Health Authorities. This followed a strategic review and extensive consultation with stakeholders.
The Commission retains a strategic role: setting the agenda for training and development; monitoring standards and performance and ensuring the role of the non-executive is fully reflected in the leadership work being undertaken by David Nicholson and Lord Darzi.
We continue to provide induction training, which has now been extended to cover the first year of appointment for chairs and non-executives.
