The King's Fund Annual Conference is our flagship event of the year for those at the forefront of delivering change and driving improvements in the way we think about and deliver health and social care.
As part of our Time to Think Differently programme, this breakfast event explored how to move services closer to home and ensure that hospitals are fit for the future.
This year, our Annual Conference took a critical look at NHS performance and considered if we are doing enough to meet productivity goals. It focused on how to deliver patient-centred care, and whether our public health and preventative agendas are robust enough to maintain a healthy population now and in the future.
The conference aimed to help non-executive directors to develop a broader and more comprehensive understanding of the NHS, and individual areas including quality, finance, board dynamics, and the strategic challenges facing the health sector.
This conference provided an opportunity to reflect on the current health care landscape and the upcoming challenges and opportunities of transforming local health services.
