Interested in the impact of the new government on the health and social care system, or what the government’s 10 year plan for health and care might mean for those who deliver or draw on services? Seeking to learn more about the challenges facing the health and care system, including productivity and performance, workforce challenges and tackling health inequalities, and how the new government might approach these moving forward?

Testimonials
'Very well organised. Clear and engaging presentations by speakers, which were complimented with useful slides. Varied panel and fruitful discussions. Enjoyed hearing from those with first-hand experience of working in NHS or as a service user.'
'The mix of perspectives and experiences (e.g. from within the sectors, lived experience, other expert knowledge about the different sectors) was very useful and well balanced, and offered a good range of insights.'
'I enjoyed all the sessions. I like the range of external speakers and the ability to revisit the presentations. I particularly liked the virtual business card - I often find networking quite hard during virtual events, but I found this a really easy way to connect with people.'
'My goal was to understand the greater picture of the NHS from an outsider's point of view (i.e. outside of England). I felt this event effectively achieved its goals/objectives.'
'I haven't worked in social care for a while and welcomed having the update. I enjoy seeing things via a wider viewpoint to help with strategic planning and opportunities to collaborate. This doesn't always happen at a local level.'
'All sessions were extremely useful, especially for a SAS doctor.'
