Women in Leadership for NHS Finance

An inclusive national network open to all genders.

What is the Women in leadership for NHS Finance network?

The Women in Leadership programme works to improve the gender balance in senior finance roles, ensuring that NHS finance leadership reflects wider society. 

Chaired by Zoe Pietrzak, Deputy Regional Director of Finance, NHS England and Improvement East of England, and in collaboration with Interim Professionals – the Women in Leadership for NHS Finance (WiLfF) brings together both women and men working in finance roles across the country who are committed to making NHS finance leadership more reflective of the finance community and populations we serve.

Together, we are working to improve the gender balance in senior finance roles.

Women in leadership for NHS Finance will create a pipeline of ‘ready now’ women through a process of:

  • Inspiring (role-modelling)
  • Supporting (creating opportunities)
  • Breaking down internal barriers to career progression (increasing personal resilience and confidence).

How does the Women in leadership for NHS Finance network operate?

The network is taking a radical approach, and we do not limit ideas or aspirations. It is inclusive and accessible. We listen and learn from those with experience and work to pull each other up as we progress.

The network meets monthly via MS Teams. Guest speakers from the NHS and other sectors are invited to present on specific topics such as career stories, career development skills, new and innovative initiatives and more. Each session is exciting and inspiring and focused on propelling your career forward.
