White text on a red background which reads 'The NHS Fellowship was life changing. Allowing me to develop skills to take up space, explore opportunities and develop my network. Sharing ideas with like minded people was very refreshing. The openness and honesty of the group was highly impactful.' The Leaders Plus logo is in the top right hand corner. The quote is from Emily Rashleigh from the 2025 NHS Cohort. Emily is a Emergency Department registrar.
