This successful series of Masterclasses was developed to meet the needs of our Board – we were not shoehorned into a pre-existing programme. The Orbit Heart of England Board is diverse - including residents, health and local government professionals, and senior people from the private sector – and every member has got something out of it. We were impressed that it offered a flexible framework which can be varied to meet individual needs - especially so with the coaching support you provided for less experienced Board members, which equipped them to participate on an equal basis. Our new Chair has been impressed by how well the programme has been received. Orbit Heart of England
