Accountable officers for place, and strategic partners taking leadership roles in place partnerships, are welcome in this dedicated space to meet with colleagues leading place-based partnerships from other footprints. Join us to speak, share, learn and build your own network of supportive contacts.

Kathy McLean, Confed’s ICS Network Chair and system leader in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, will open the session with a few key thoughts, before attendees will be prompted to discuss critical questions on the role of place in the emerging national narrative on the NHS.
