Networks & countries

We meet the specific needs of different parts of our membership across the UK and Europe through our various networks and support programmes.

We know that placed-based and system working are increasingly important to you, and that is our main focus. But we also know that as a member working in a specific sector, you will have specific issues and challenges that you may want support in addressing. Therefore, we provide you and your teams with a range of specific networks and activities dedicated to your sector.

Across each network in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, we represent you and act as your public voice, connect you with leaders in your sector and across the wider health and care system, and support you as individual leaders.
