The UK’s health and care system is at a moment of national crisis. It is grappling with persistent health inequalities, over-stretched services and an exhausted workforce.
To address these challenges effectively, there needs to be bold, radical action that moves the system to a preventive approach – one that focuses on promoting health rather than simply treating illnesses. On this three-week course, you’ll discover how to address the most serious challenges facing the health and care sector through effective and collaborative partnerships.

Testimonials
'I came to the Kings Fund more than 20 years ago as part of the Millennium Awards Scheme. Their training and support set me on a path of peer-delivered community development and empowerment which has brought me to where I am today - managing programmes which prioritise VSO/NHS partnerships just as ICSs are forming. Thank you for a course which has added depth and breadth to that knowledge!'
Past participant
'This has added detail in learning and mindset maintenance that I needed to continue to be the change that I want to see in my own organisation. It really helps when you have doubts about how you can keep trying to influence and partner in a positive way to zoom out to the bigger picture across the country; knowing there are lots of examples of working and succeeding partnerships.'
