Delegates at the Health and Care Women Leaders Network Annual Conference 2019.

We are bringing together organisations working to treat people closer to home. Our conference on Wednesday 27 September 2023 will offer an opportunity for senior leaders across health and care to come together and explore health beyond the hospital.

Health beyond the hospital is a chance to come together with others working in this space to explore how we can work collaboratively to support people in their homes and the community.

We will focus on three key themes: people with health conditions (older people; people with multiple and complex conditions; and children and young people); data and digital; and innovation.

This will be a key opportunity for members and non-members to network with peers, to share knowledge and experience, as well as listen to experts from across healthcare. By focusing on what we can do together and uniting around patients we can shift the conversation to focus on treating people where they live and keeping them well at home.

2:35-3pm Mid-afternoon break

3pm-4pm Turning aspiration into reality: investing in out of hospital care

A transformation is needed in health and care to shift the focus to manage people's health needs at home and in the community and to focus more on prevention and education. Out of hopsital care has huge potential and offers an opportunity for us change not only how we deliver care but also the way that the public engages with the health sector. This session will explore how we can turn the aspiration of out of hospital care into a reality and shift investment upstream. The panel will discuss the transformation needed to make that shift, the opportunities and the barriers to making that change.

Speakers: Daniel Elkeles, Chief Executive, London Ambulance Service NHS Trust; Karen Jackson, Chief Executive, Locala; Matthew Taylor, Chief Executive, NHS Confederation (Chair)
