Our Governance

The Leeds Health and Care Academy plays an important role in delivering the Leeds Health and Wellbeing Strategy, and links into several workforce groups across the city.

The Leeds One Workforce Strategic Board (LOWSB) oversees the Leeds One Workforce Programme, and also directs the Academy Steering Group (ASG), which has responsibility for assuring the scope and impact of the Leeds Health and Care Academy portfolio.
The role of the ASG is to oversee the development, delivery and impact of all Academy products and services, and to assure partner organisations that we are meeting the needs of the health and care workforce.

Following consultation with partners and Advisory group members we consolidated what were four advisory groups into one- reducing duplication and repetition. The Academy Advisory Group connects our system and provides a space to addresses city wide priorities together. Colleagues make valuable links with individuals and services that they would not normally have the opportunity to meet and where there are shared priorities and benefit in working together, this informs the work of the Academy. We work closely with the Leeds Academic Health Partnership aligning the future of Health and Care in our city with the essential support and development for everyone who studies or works across our partnership.
