Non-executive directors event 

The next few months will be critical for the NHS as it implements wide-ranging health service reforms while delivering high quality care under increasing financial pressure. You will be asked to provide strong leadership through a period of change in order to maintain a clear focus on delivering for patients and the public. This event is designed to support you through the changes ahead.

After running very successfully in 2010 we have secured the support of a number of SHAs to bring you this event exclusively for non-executive directors.

Highlights include:

With the Health and Social Care Bill entering its final parliamentary stages, Mike Farrar, Chief executive, NHS Confederation will share his thoughts on:

• the changes to the reforms since the White Paper was published, and what to expect from the remaining stages of the legislation
• how to build understanding of what the new architecture, rules and environment mean for your organisations
• how to make the reforms work well for patients, and the challenges ahead
• Dean Royles, Director, NHS Employers will update you on managing the pay bill and supporting employers with QIPP
• Sally Chisholm, CEO, NHS Technology Adoption Centre will be discussing innovation in the NHS in relation to QIPP
• there will also be breakout sessions for providers and commissioners to support you through the transition
