Workshop Programme

REGISTER HERE Health and social care today face some of the most pressing challenges of our time: rising demand, funding pressures, health inequalities, and fragmented services. No single organisation can solve these alone.

Systems leadership is about thinking and acting beyond your own team or service—it’s about working collaboratively across sectors to improve outcomes for citizens.

In this INTERACTIVE four-module workshop programme, Jon Wilks, CEO, IHSCM, will guide you through the principles and practices of systems leadership. Drawing on lived experience and expert insight, Jon will explore how leaders can navigate complexity, foster trust, and build integrated care systems that truly serve communities.
