Medical and Nursing Directors Network

Online

Overview

Connect with your peers from across the country.

With recent developments and the government's publication of the 10-year health plan, this network will provide you an opportunity to reflect with other medical, nursing and clinical leaders across the country on your key challenges and share insight and learning.

Why this matters

As the NHS continues to evolve, this network offers an important opportunity to step back from the day-to-day and reflect on the key challenges facing your role, team and trust. 

Operating under Chatham House Rule, this member-only network will provide you with the chance to:

  • Influence and shape national reviews and strategies.
  • Share ideas and exchange learning.
  • Hear presentations from experts on the latest innovative work in the sector.

Good level of discussion across the peer group, felt like a safe space for discussion
