NHS audit committees | 23 February 2024
18 December 2023
As part of its mission to promote good governance, GGI has been hosting facilitated 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:
To start off 2024, GGI’s unique peer-to-peer forum for NHS NEDs looks at the main board committees: audit, quality, finance and people. In this session we will be focusing on audit committees. Helping to guide the conversation will be our special guest Alan Edwards, non-executive director at Black Country Integrated Care Board and chair of the audit committee.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This meeting is by invitation only and is open to all NHS non-executive directors, chairs and associate non-executive directors of NHS providers. Others may attend by special invitation. For further details, comments, questions and suggestions please contact: events@good-governance.org.uk.
Registration details will be added here soon.
We hope that you will join us for what will be an interesting and insightful discussion.
