GGI Breakfast Webinar - The New NHS: ICS Series | One Big Team: nurturing engagement, involvement and connectivity in ICSs | 22 June 2022 | Virtual

Last year the Good Governance Institute ran a series of events about future ICS and systems work, and developed a number of briefings. There has been a real appetite and requests for further breakfast meetings to be held on the subject matter. Therefore, we are working on a further series of events and topics that we will host over the coming months.

The next webinar in this year’s series, 'One Big Team: nurturing engagement, involvement and connectivity in ICSs'

We will be joined by Rory Hegarty, Director of Communications and Engagement, North West London Integrated Care System, Francesca Hunt, Co-owner and Managing Director, MaST Evolution, Brian 'Mitch' Mitchell, Group MD, MaST Evolution. The session will be chaired by Stephen McCulloch, Director of Engagement and Corporate Affairs at the Good Governance Institute.

The format of these meetings will be input from a couple of speakers on their own thoughts and experience, then it will open up to the attendees for a facilitated open discussion encouraging comments, questions and answers.
