GGI National NHS NED Development Programme: Peer to Peer Weekly Meeting | 22 October

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.

Making Partnership Work: A Liverpool Case Study

Digitisation of the NHS has been a long-held ambition, but prone to delays, failures and funding gaps over the past few decades that leave us adrift from international best practice.

• How did partnerships across health and social care change during the Covid Crisis?
• How can Integrated Care Systems build on improved partnership working arising out of Covid?
• What examples are there of effective partnership working and what are the main lessons to draw from them?
• How will partnership working respond to the immediate challenges facing the NHS
