As Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs) are the hot topic for everyone working in the health service, this year’s annual conference will be a practical, hands-on event, bringing together all the key players from across the West of England to explore how we can best support you to take advantage of the opportunities and tackle the challenges in delivering the plans to achieve the Five Year Forward View.
All senior leaders from the regional health service community are invited to this important event, featuring a mix of inspirational speakers and interactive workshops, where we can learn from each other and from experts with invaluable experience in leadership, cross-organisational culture change and delivering place-based systems of care.
One of our keynote speakers will be Beverley Bryant, NHS England's Director of Digital Technology, who will look at how we make the most of new and emerging innovations and the role of technology in transformational change.
