National NHS NED Development Programme
As part of our mission to promote good governance, GGI host a facilitated, virtual meeting to give NHS non-executive directors (NEDs) an opportunity to share their concerns, challenges and ideas as we rethink the future of health and social care.
The network was set-up in March 2020 in the response to the covid-19 to bring NHS NEDs together from all over the UK on a digital platform.
The goal of the network is now as a development programme – to encourage NEDs to collectively think about the role they play as part of the controlling mind of their organisations, to discuss a range of key issues and for the NHS and public sector to ensure we all learn from this experience to assure better outcomes for citizens and colleagues in the future.
The NED development programme is now a weekly peer-to-peer discussion welcoming feedback, questions and comment. The meetings are 'closed' meetings and are by invitation and are open to all NEDs, chairs and associate NEDs of NHS providers. The meetings are held weekly, every Friday morning at 10.00am, for one hour.
Most importantly, the weekly meetings are a safe space for NEDs to meet with their peers and celebrate the work of the NHS on a weekly basis.
