Healthy changes?

NHS reform and the voluntary and community sector in Yorkshire & the Humber

Tuesday 29 November 2011 (10.30-12.30)
Northern Ballet, Quarry Hill, Leeds LS2 7PA

Healthy changes? is one in the series of Landscape seminars run by Involve Yorkshire & Humber. We're grateful for the financial support of Wrigleys solicitors for this seminar.

The Government’s NHS reforms are the most dramatic since the NHS was formed in the 1940s and will have significant effects for the voluntary and community sector (VCS) and the communities we serve – both in terms of service provision and more broadly.

Is it an opportunity for the VCS to strengthen its role in promoting better health and wellbeing, or simply a move to dilute and privatise the NHS? 

This seminar will equip delegates with up to date information about the changes and how the sector can position itself. It is an essential event for any voluntary and community organisation with a role in improving health and wellbeing. Book now.

You will

• find out about the development of Clinical Commissioning Groups and Health and Wellbeing Boards in Yorkshire & the Humber

• look at the implications for voluntary and community organisations

• find out how you can engage with emerging commissioning structures and influence local health and wellbeing strategies

• be equipped to explore the challenges for your own organisation in responding and engaging with radically new structures

• have the opportunity to meet and network with people from a range of key organisations

Speakers

• Paul Moore (Health Inequalities Policy and Partnership Manager, Department of Health, Yorkshire & the Humber)

• Mark Gamsu (freelance public health expert, visiting professor, Leeds Metropolitan University)

• Colin McIlwain (Assistant Director, Commissioning Development, NHS North of England)
