Seacole Trailblazers: The Young NEDs Programme

The Trailblazer programme was designed to expand the diverse voices of minority groups in the health service to include the valueable, and often less heard, voice of the young.

​

Our aspiration from the Trailblazer programme is to ultimately create a formal and normalised non executive roles for young people on public boards. The Young NED role would offer a platform for the voice of the young minority whose objective would be to to shape decision making effecting services for young people and shape future services that young would receive as they mature.

​​

We have successfully run a small pilot of four young minds aged between 18-25. While the programme offered our Trailblazers insight in to the world of executive boards and the mechanism of corporate governance, it also gave exposure to the wider Seacole Group and the diverse range of board level discussions - anything from health inequalities through to workforce issues and Covid Strategy.

​

The programme is currently on hold but we hope to restart this in the near future. If you are interested in working with us on this programme, please get in touch.
