GGI National NHS NED Development Programme: Peer to Peer Weekly Meeting | 10 September 2021

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.

In Conversation with: Bob Alexander, Independent Chair, Sussex Health & Care Partnership ICS

‘Have we made the most of the summer?’

• What have we done to support our NHS staff to recharge batteries?
• Are we set and able to address the waiting time challenges facing the NHS?
• How should Trusts and NEDs be looking to engage with the ICS agenda going forward?
• What learning has there been for NHS Governance from the pandemic and how might governance evolve going forward?
• In the light of any financial settlement, are Trusts having to think about doing more with less?
