Leading change with people and communities

As part of the new Engagement Practitioners' Network for staff working in health and care, NHS England and NHS Improvement are delighted to invite you to Leading Change with People and Communities, our 2020 spotlight improvement events.

These events will be a fabulous opportunity to explore the latest thinking about working in genuine partnership with people and communities. Together we will challenge traditional ways of thinking, share our tools and insights, and generate new ideas for change.

We will be launching the national Engagement Practitioners' Network at these events.  Find out more about how this new peer led network will help you to access the latest resources, support and thinking about working in partnership with people and communities.

These events are for practitioners working in engagement roles in:

• Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs) and Integrated Care Systems (ICSs)
• Health research organisations
