Support for NHS communicators
Communications and engagement are crucial to high performing systems and organisations. We are supporting communicators across the NHS.
Effective communications and engagement play a key role in supporting integrated care systems, and the partners that make them up, to achieve stronger relationships, more open and transparent ways of working, greater trust, more engaged staff and, ultimately, better outcomes for the public.
We are supporting communications and engagement leaders working in integrated care systems and the partners that comprise them. Our support includes:
- The first dedicated network for integrated care system communications and engagement leaders, which was launched in June 2021.
- A new annual conference and awards for health and care communications leaders, delivered in partnership with NHS Providers and The Centre for Health Communications Research, which will take place on 15 and 16 September 2021.
- Regular thought leadership and research into communications practice, including a report into integrated care systems that have been successful in communicating and engaging across local communities, staff and the full range of partners that comprise their systems. These are listed below.
Our work in this area is led by Daniel Reynolds, director of communications and membership operations.
