To provide a holistic and inclusive framework which describes the breadth of qualities, motivations and experiences needed from executive directors in the NHS in Wales both now and in the future.
To underpin a One Wales approach for supporting and enabling aspiring and existing executive directors throughout their career.
Who was it designed for?
Those who are considering an executive director role in the future - to increase awareness in relation to readiness, to guide development, and support their transition into a director post.
Individuals currently operating within executive roles - to support their continued learning, development and growth throughout their executive career.
How was it developed?
The Success Profile was developed through wide engagement with leaders at all levels.
These different groups provided information about the current and future requirements of the Welsh Health and Social Care System at local and national levels. They also provided valuable insight into the challenges and reality faced by executive directors and the broad variety of qualities needed to operate effectively at this level.
A comprehensive review of key national strategies and white papers was also conducted to ensure alignment of the Profile with the long-term ambitions and cultural aspirations of NHS Wales. This also ensures the Success Profile is underpinned by the values and principles that we need to define healthcare within Wales over the years ahead.
