Neighbourhood health leadership: where are my peers? A cross-system learning event

12 Jun 2025
Exchange 11
Collaboration / partnerships / patient or public engagement , Integration – system / place / neighbourhood

This networking session is for neighbourhood health leads sitting within systems, places and neighbourhoods.

Given the shift to neighbourhood health there is now an increasing number of leaders driving this work locally. These roles are responsible for building relationships, mobilising change and finding innovative ways to bring people together to build local neighbourhood health models. It is relatively new role for many, it’s exciting but it can be daunting.

This session will be an opportunity for neighbourhood health leads to connect, share thinking and learn from one another. In the session you will get a chance to hear about the plans for a national improvement programme as set out in the recent neighbourhood health guidance, discuss the core enablers for the shifts we need to see and create the connections with other leaders who can help with your own local plans.
