Support for non-executive leaders

Connecting non-executive healthcare leaders across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Chairs, non-executive directors and lay members play a key role in driving forward transformational change across the health and care sector.

We support non-executives in a number of ways.

Our chairs network offers a chance for chairs from across the NHS to connect with their peers in other parts of the system in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It meets every other month to debate issues, hear from guest speakers and hosts an online community where leaders can share learning on system-level thinking.

We also host a range of networks for chairs in their specific sectors, such as our ICB Chairs Forum, ICB Chairs Forum, Mental Health Chairs Network, and ICS Network Non-Executive Directors Forum.
