LEO and KPMG win two more awards at leading industry awards ceremonies
LEO’s pioneering virtual campus for the NHS Leadership Academy scooped two more awards on Wednesday's awards ceremonies.
The first award of the night was a silver for Best Leadership Programme at the Training Journal Awards, while the second was a gold for Excellence in the Production of Learning Content - Public Sector at the E-Learning Age awards.
Both awards are internationally recognised as a celebration of excellence in the e-learning industry. These latest accolades follow a Brandon Hall Award for the ‘Best use of Blended Learning’ in 2014, taking the total of industry awards won by the NHS Leadership Academy virtual campus to four.
The award-winning programmes are the largest and most comprehensive leadership development programmes ever undertaken by the NHS. They use a blend of multi-device learning, video-based scenarios, performance support, assessments and more within an innovative virtual campus alongside residentials and face-to-face training to support leaders at various levels of the NHS.
The virtual campus, created by a KPMG-led consortium including LEO, Manchester Business School, The University of Birmingham, Harvard, National Voices, Cumberlege Eden & Partners, Unspun and other partners, delivers the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and the Nye Bevan programmes to around 10,000 NHS leaders over three years, helping improve NHS leadership for better patient care. Participants of the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson programme graduate with a master’s degree in Healthcare Leadership while participants in each Nye Bevan cohort receive an NHS Academy award in Executive Healthcare leadership.
LEO’s Chief Strategy Officer, Piers Lea, said: "These awards are significant for us because they recognise the difference these programmes make to leadership in the NHS. They are a wonderful accolade for our team at LEO, the wider KPMG consortium, and for the NHS Leadership Academy. Thank you to all involved!"
Louise Scott-Worrall, Director at KPMG UK said: "We are delighted to receive this industry recognition for our learning programmes. It has been a truly excellent team effort and importantly, participants tell us it is making a difference to their leadership."
