GGI Breakfast Webinar - The New NHS: ICS Series | 30 March 2022 | Zoom Conference Call

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, ‘Place and Provider Collaboratives'

We will be joined by Cathy Elliott, Chair Designate at West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board and Colin Scales, Chief Executive at Bridgewater Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. The session will be chaired by Professor Andrew Corbett-Nolan, Chief Executive at 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.
