How much does it cost to take part in the programme? The Ready Now programme is fully funded by the NHS Leadership Academy. However, this does not mean it’s free. Participants must commit themselves to the full journey of the programme and will be asked to sign a document expressing their intention to do so, prior to taking up their place. If participants withdraw from the programme before fully completing it, and without extenuating circumstances agreed with the NHS Leadership Academy, their organisation will be liable to bear the full cost of the programme £2,800.
