Tackling today while building for tomorrow

Our annual face-to-face conference for members of our ICS Network takes place on Wednesday 27 November this year, and is intended for all senior system leaders, including ICB CEOs, ICB Chairs, ICP Chairs, executive teams in ICBs, non-exec directors, and also senior leaders in local authority organisations and VCSE partners working within ICSs, as well as those interested in ICSs.

The day will focus on how we can support systems on their delivery of the four core purposes of ICSs and will involve engaging keynote speakers, breakout sessions, and lots of networking opportunities. There will also be an exhibition as part of the event.

This year, we are offering each system two free places and we have sent details of the code to use to claim the free places, to each system CEO by email. All additional spaces will be chargeable.

Please find below the full agenda for our national ICS Network conference - Tackling today while building for tomorrow - in November. We will be adding further details of sessions and speakers shortly and session times may be subject to change.

Join our final plenary session of the conference, with a panel discussion exploring:
Lord Darzi’s investigation of the NHS described how “the sheer number of national organisations that can ‘instruct’ the NHS encourages too many to look upwards rather than to those they are there to serve”.
Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) have been created to tackle some of the most fundamental and permeating challenges of health and care by recognizing and actioning the power of working together rather than separately through the system’s component parts.
It is through different mechanisms of accountability that we can understand how systems are progressing their ambitions. ICSs are simultaneously accountable outwards to their local populations and partner organisations, and upwards to national bodies and ultimately government via their integrated care board (ICB). During this session we will explore how ICSs balance these competing demands and ensure they are delivering against their four core purposes.
Room: Broadgate Forum
Room: Galleria
Join the ICS Network team for a drink to mark the end of our annual conference and for a final opportunity to network and share thoughts and views with other ICS colleagues as we draw our annual conference for 2024 to an end.
