Member networks

We run 12 member networks, supporting all NHS board level roles. Each network meets several times a year, and events are specifically designed to help members get the information, guidance and inspiration they need. A core part of membership, each network hosts both in-person and virtual events across the year, and is free for all members. 

Why attend?

Supporting all board-level roles, our 12 networks are:

• Chairs and chief executives
• Company secretaries
• Communication leads
• Community (for all executive directors at community provider trusts)
• Directors of operation and chief operating officers
• Finance directors and commercial leads network

• HR directors
• Digital boards leadership (for all board directors with an interest in digital)
• Medical and nursing directors
• Mental health leads
• Non-executive directors
• Strategy directors

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?' Hearing you're not alone and the problems aren't just in my trust gives me strength! Thank you.

Chief operating officer    Epsom and St Helier

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.

Chair    Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust

A great event I'm 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.

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