Session oneInvolving others and joining the dots
There are limits to what the NHS can achieve alone. This session explored how working collaboratively with other parts of the public and third sector – as well as with patients and local people – is crucial to ensuring approaches to improving population health are joined up throughout the system.
Our expert panel explored the characteristics of collective and distributive systems and adaptable leadership styles needed to improve population health. We discussed how local and regional system leaders and politicians can champion population health and ensure that plans that are co-ordinated across the area and across those responsible for the wider determinants of health are in place.
