NEL THRIVE Programme 2024

To equip women in NHS finance to feel empowered in their careers and working lives.

In 2021, Barts Health NHS Trust recognised the need to support women in overcoming barriers within their professional journeys, aiming to foster their growth and effectiveness in the workplace. The Trust’s primary objective was to encourage more women to attain senior-level positions, thereby addressing the prevalent gender gap.

To realise this vision, Barts Health NHS Trust collaborated with Treehouse, an external consultancy, to design and implement a specialised programme tailored for women. This programme aimed to equip aspiring female leaders with the requisite tools and self-assurance necessary to pursue and secure senior roles. Moreover, it aimed to instil empowerment among women across all management levels, enhancing their career trajectories and overall professional satisfaction.

Building upon the success witnessed at Barts, the programme is now ready for expansion throughout North East London in 2024/25. By broadening the programme’s reach, we hope to foster a culture of empowerment and professional growth among women in finance throughout North East London.
