Introducing the North West Coaching Collaborative
We are delighted to launch the North West Coaching Collaborative – a new regional partnership bringing together:
- NHS North West Leadership Academy
- North West ADASS
- North West Employers
Our shared ambition is simple but powerful:
to make coaching accessible to everyone working across the North West public sector.
Why Form a Coaching Collaborative?
The North West Coaching Collaborative (NWCC) has been established in response to a clear and shared ambition across our region to build a vibrant crosssector coaching community that strengthens leadership, supports workforce development, and enhances the quality and reach of coaching. As public services face increasing pressure, the need for innovative, cross-sector approaches has never been greater.
There is strong evidence (1,2,3,4) that by investing in coaching we can improve service outcomes, enhance leadership capability, staff engagement, and support behaviour change.
Key Advantages
A key advantage of a collaborative is the ability to share and scale resources. Individually, the collaborative partners have developed high-quality coaching offers and frameworks, collectively these can be expanded and accessed more widely. This reduces duplication and ensures more efficient use of resources across health, social care, and local government.
Each sector brings unique perspectives, challenges, and innovations. By creating a shared coaching community the NWCC enables practitioners to exchange ideas, reflect, and build capability together overall strengthening the quality and accessibility of coaching across the region.
The collaborative also plays a critical role in supporting more integrated ways of working between Health, social care, and local government. Effective collaboration between these systems is essential for delivering joined-up care. By building a cross-sector community of coaches the NWCC helps to break down organisational boundaries and develop a shared language and understanding.
