GGI National NHS NED Development Programme: Peer to Peer Weekly Meeting with Aidan Rave | 23 September 2022

As part of its mission to promote good governance, GGI will host these facilitated, weekly virtual meetings to give NHS non-executive directors an opportunity to share their concerns, challenges and ideas as we rethink the future of health and social care.

The goal is to collectively think about the role NEDs play as part of the controlling mind of their organisations, to discuss immediate safeguarding issues and to ensure we all learn from this experience to assure better outcomes for citizens in the future. If you would like to join this meeting, please email events@good-governance.org.uk.

Chair: Dr Usman Khan, Managing Director, Good Governance Institute

In conversation with Aidan Rave... ‘We need to talk about local government’

• How does local government view health and the role of the ICS?
• What lessons should NHS Boards learn from the prior era of OSCs when seeking the buy-in of local government for the ICS agenda?
• How effectively are ICS integrating the local government voice?
• How can health and local government work best on the public health and integrated care agendas?
