Speakers

The new government is now focused on its central mission of economic growth. A key part of delivering this is the Local Growth Agenda – stimulating local economic development and rebalancing the UK economy at large. 

Health has a big part to play and it is vital that NHS leaders understand this new framework and their role in it. Acute NHS Trusts should be at the heart of this new era of government and growth.  

Our vision is a scenario in which NHS Trusts are central to boosting productivity, addressing inequalities, spreading opportunity, and restoring pride to local areas. This webinar, the first in a new series, looks at the local growth agenda, the role of acute trusts, and how they can influence local leaders.

The series is being led by Michael Wood, head of Health Economic Partnerships. Michael advises NHS leaders nationally and locally on policy, strategy, partnerships and funding relating to the local economy, including in areas such as skills and workforce, estates, innovation, population health and finance.
