GGI National NHS NED Development Programme: Peer to Peer Weekly Meeting with Dr Mike Knapton | 11 March

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.

ABOUT

Host: Professor Andrew Corbett-Nolan, Chief Executive, Good Governance Institute

Chair: Dr Usman Khan, GGI Special Advisor, Good Governance Institute

In Conversation with: Dr Mike Knapton, Non-Executive Director, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

'Balancing clinical presence with clinical voice: understanding evolving models of clinical leadership.'

In this session Dr Usman Khan will be joined by Dr Mike Knapton, a primary care general practitioner and long-standing Board Member at Addenbrookes, an organisation which he was first involved with as a clinical student in 1980. Having also been the Professional Executive Committee Chairman of his local PCG, Mike is in an excellent position to discuss how clinical leadership has evolved over the last four decades and how the new structures of the ICBs may best engage the clinical voice into the evolving model for local health system governance.

• What should be the role of training for clinical leadership?
• How does the clinical voice vary between primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors?
• What should be the relationship between the clinical voice and the patient voice?
• How can Trust Boards get the best out of their clinical leader colleagues?
