Programme

 

08.00 – 09.00 – Population health management breakfast session  Maynard Theatre

  • Mid and South Essex ICS is one system looking to drive the best possible outcomes and prevent demand downstream through a new population health management (PHM) programme, which is being designed and delivered at place and neighbourhood level. In this session, Gerdalize du Toit, Community Director at Mid and South Essex ICS, and Ric Whalley, Partner at Newton, will share the steps taken and key learnings so far from this project, and how this data driven model will be used to design and deliver interventions which lead to measurably improved outcomes for people.

08.30 – 09.15 – Registration – Atrium outside The Orangery

 

09.20 – 09.30 – Welcome – Burdett Suite

Chair of the ICS Network advisorate Dame Gill Morgan opens our first face-to-face national conference of the NHS Confederation ICS Network.

 

09.30 – 10.00 – In conversation with Richard Meddings – Burdett Suite

We are pleased to welcome Richard Meddings, Chair, NHS England, to deliver a keynote speech.

 

10.00 – 10.45 – Panel discussion – How well do we know our communities? – Burdett Suite

  • Speakers: Cathy Elliott, Chair, West Yorkshire and Harrogate ICB; Polly Curtis, Chief Executive, Demos; Adam Lent, Chief Executive, New Local.

    Community engagement is a challenge of our time for public services. For the newly established Integrated Care Systems, this golden thread must run through all four of their founding key principles - continuously guiding and challenging local decisions about priorities, resources, outcomes and methods of collaboration. How can ICSs embed local people’s voices in their decision-making and value their lived experience in service design, understanding and delivery?

    Whilst awareness of the importance of community engagement is growing, it has never been a strength of statutory organisations, such as the NHS. For an ICS to truly understand how it can improve population health, it first needs to reflect on the question of how much we really know about our own communities - socially, economically and culturally.

    This session will hear from a range of speakers who are leading on community engagement, both from the NHS and, importantly, from within their communities. They will raise different approaches and examples and touch on the key principles behind positive engagement, and empowerment, of those we serve.

10.50 – 11.35 – Developing ICS as learning systems capable of transformation – Burdett Suite

Chair: Matthew Taylor, Chief Executive, NHS Confederation

Speakers: Mark Cubbon, Chief Delivery Officer at NHS England; Penny Pereira, Q Managing Director, The Health Foundation

A panel session of four speakers from the NHS Confederation, NHS England, The Health Foundation and an ICS to explore:

  • What might a ‘learning system’ look like in practice?
  • What are the characteristics needed to create a learning environment at and within systems?
  • How can we ensure they are capable of transformation?

 

11.35 – 11.55 – Break and networking – The Orangery

 

11.55 – 12.45 – Breakout sessions

  • Speakers: Phil Holmes, Director of Adults, Health and Wellbeing (DASS), Doncaster Council; Emma Back, Founder, Equal Care Co-op; Helen Walker, Chief Executive, Carer’s UK; Martin Walker, Policy Advisor for Personalised Commissioning and Self-directed Support, Think Local Act Personal Partnership

    This session will explore ways in which ICSs can support the caring infrastructure of places through the support of carers, the development of new forms of home care and a place-based co-production approach.

  • Speakers: Dr Jayne Chidgey-Clark, National Guardian for Freedom to Speak Up, NHS England; Ruth Turner, Senior Director, Forward Institute

    Bringing lessons from within the health sector and beyond, Ruth Turner from the Forward Institute and Dr Jayne Chidgey-Clark from the National Guardian’s Office will discuss the factors that support speaking up in organisations and what role we as leaders play in ensuring we seek out diverse views to listen to.

  • Chair: Sarah Walter, Director, ICS Network

    Speakers: Marie-Andrée Gamache, Country President of Novartis UK and Ireland; Sarah Blow, Chief Executive, South West London ICB; Cedi Frederick, Chair, NHS Kent and Medway; Jonathan Higman, Chief Executive, Somerset ICB

    This session with Novartis will place in focus the importance and power of partnerships and cross-enterprise collaboration to truly transform healthcare. A thought-leadership and challenge-orientated session that considers effective drivers to accelerate PHM and access and adoption of innovation as critical enablers and catalysts to help realise proactive and preventative care systems that are more anticipatory in nature.

    In partnership with

  • Chair: Kevin Lavery, Chief Executive, Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB

    This session with Gerard Hanratty, Partner and Head of Health at Browne Jacobson, will explore from the experience of supporting the establishment of ICBs and ICSs, how ICBs and their partners working across an ICS can create governance systems to enable and support subsidiarity, taking into account that an ICS consists of statutory bodies and policy constructs, such as place and provider collaboratives. In analysing how function mapping has been applied to ensure the right decisions are made at a local and central levels, the ability to meet the objective of integrating health and social care can be evaluated from the legal perspective. Consideration will also be given to whether further legislative or policy clarification would benefit the objective of integration.

    In partnership with

12.45 – 13.45 – Lunch – The Orangery

 

13.45 – 14.35 – Breakout sessions

  • Chair: Cate McLaurin, Director, Public Digital

    Speakers: Dr Susan Thomas, Clinical Director, Google Health; Pritesh Mistry, Fellow, Digital Technologies, The Kings Fund; Jan Thomas, Chief Executive, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough ICB, Gurnak Dosanjh, Clinical Lead for Home First and Urgent & Emergency Care, Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland ICB

    During this session ICS leaders will hear how ICSs can drive wider collaboration across their system through improvements in interoperability.

    Delegates will hear practical examples from a range of speakers including the King’s Fund, who will discuss the learning from their recent report on interoperability. There will be an opportunity for ICS leaders to raise specific questions and talk through some of the challenges and the role of culture and leadership in collaboration.

    In partnership with 

    Google Health Logo
  • Speakers: Rebecca Smith, Director of Systems and Programme Development, NHS Employers; Jeannette Cookson, Locality Manager, Skills for Care; Amanda Whittaker-Brown, Senior Advisor, Workforce, LGA; Ian Hobbs, Senior Commissioning Manager, Integrated Adult Social Care, Devon ICS.

    This joint session with NHS Employers, Skills for Care and the Local Government Association (LGA) will outline how they came together to produce guidance on integrated workforce thinking and how each of these organisations can support members to do this successfully. We will be providing members with some practical steps to consider before they begin to integrate their workforce thinking.

    We will also be hearing from Devon ICS who have integrated their workforce across health and social care to give an idea of what can be achieved when systems work collectively.

  • Chair: Matt Neligan, Director of Primary Care and System Transformation, NHS England

    Speakers: Foluke Ajayi, Chief Executive, Airedale NHS Foundation Trust; Amanda Sullivan, Chief Executive, Nottingham and Nottinghamshire ICB; Louise Edwards, Executive Director of Strategy, Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust; David Radbourne, Regional Director of Strategy and Transformation, NHS South East;

    This interactive panel session will focus on the relationship between providers and ICBs. Each speaker will put forward their case on the following:

    ‘Describe how governance arrangements and relationships between provider and ICB in your patch are playing out. What role do NHSE and DHSC play in supporting and overseeing this? How can these relationships support planning and delivery on short- and longer-term priorities? What are the challenges and how do you think you can overcome them?’

    The audience will be asked to raise their hands for which arrangement or set of relationships resonates with them based on their own system context and will be invited to explain the reason behind this.

14.35 – 15.00 – Mid-afternoon break – The Orangery

 

15.10 – 16.15 – Panel discussion – Are ICSs truly committed to race equality within their health systems and local communities? – Burdett Suite

Chair: Joan Saddler OBE, Director of Partnerships and Equality, NHS Confederation

Speakers: Professor Dame Elizabeth Nneka Anionwu; Harprit Hockley, Head of Equality and Inclusion, NHS England (East of England); Marie Gabriel, Chair, North East London ICS; Mike Bell, Chair, Croydon Health Services, South West London ICS and Chair, Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Trust, South East London ICS.

The link between race equality and health inequalities is well established. Patients and staff from Black and minority ethnic groups continue to experience discrimination within the UK health service, leading to disparities in treatment, experiences and health outcomes. 

This session will hear from a range of speakers who are actively bringing about race equality for both patients and staff. We will explore how ICSs can continue to create opportunities for collaboration in equality, diversity, and inclusion to truly become anti-racist systems.

 

16.15 – 16.30 – Close –  Burdett Suite

ICS Network director Sarah Walter will summarise the day’s events and close the conference.
