LeAD was originally developed to support the Medical Leadership Competency Framework (MLCF) created by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (AoMRC) and NHSIII. The Enhancing Engagement in Medical Leadership project led by the AoMRC and NHSIII supported the approach taken by the Medical Royal Colleges to develop doctors' understanding of their role in contributing to managing and leading health services. LeAD specifically supports the Medical Leadership Curriculum (based on the MLCF) which underpins all postgraduate specialty training.

The Clinical Leadership Competency Framework (CLCF) is derived from the MLCF. The CLCF was created by the National Leadership Council (NLC) with the agreement of the NHSIII and the AoMRC. Through publishing the CLCF and supporting access to LeAD the NLC are promoting leadership development for all clinical professions that work in health and care. Ensuring that leadership competences will be incorporated into education and training for all clinical professions and establishing a stronger foundation for developing leadership capability across health care and in delivering the changes needed to meet future challenges.

LeAD is appropriate for all clinical staff regardless of profession, specialty, or stage of training and offers one component of an overall leadership training and development programme.
LeAD reflects the leadership competences outlined in the MLCF/CLCF and will help clinicians develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours required to be active team members; support others who are in leadership roles; and make effective contributions as appropriate.
All of the e-learning has been written and extensively reviewed by senior practitioners.
