COVID-19: FAQs from company secretaries

It was utterly fantastic to talk to another bunch of COOs and realise that I am not alone. When we talk to the STP / regulator the tone is almost “well everyone else is managing to sort this out - why can’t you” - and hearing that one is not alone and that the problems are not just in my trust gives me strength! Thank you.

A very useful meeting - good variety of formats, topics and speakers, efficiently chaired. Good opportunities for networking. Came away better informed and with things to reflect on.

Chairperson Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust

A great event that I am really happy I took time to attend. It felt worth the time away from the day-to-day of my own trust. It also felt honest which is really important to me personally.

Head of communications North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust

The networking was incredibly helpful. I left with a clear sense that NHS Providers was a strong and effectively run organisation, that is championing the cause of pressured-providers.

Deputy chairperson Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
