The way health services are planned, commissioned and delivered has radically changed over the life of this Government. And more changes are already being discussed as the national political parties shape their health policies ahead of the 2015 General Election.
After the very public battles over the Health and Social Care Act, somewhat surprisingly today's reforms have bedded in under the public's radar. But the future of the NHS remains an area of intense Parliamentary, media and public debate and one that will intensify further over the coming fifteen months.
What is already clear is that now the reformed structures are in place, different channels of influence are being established up and down the country. Are you confident that you know the best ways to engage and shape policy in this new environment?
Are you up to speed with what’s next on the horizon? How can you effectively plan for 2015, stay on top of the emerging policy agenda and influence the detail?
For answers and discussion, join us for our popular Connect Training course on health policy, today and post 2015. We don’t just tell you about structures and responsibilities in the new NHS. This interactive workshop-style session helps professionals understand where power lies and how to engage and influence.
Ideal for public affairs, communications and policy professionals working in and around the health service or local government, as well as anyone with an interest in understanding more about the far-reaching changes in the NHS since 2010. The course will also enable effective business planning for those who need to engage with CCGs, Health and Wellbeing Boards and service providers.
In particular, the course will cover:
- Where we are and where we are going: the new health landscape
- Where power lies and who controls what: identifying opportunities for influence
- From national health to local health: the changing role of local government in healthcare
- What might the future of health policy look like?
- Planning for post 2015
All of our health courses are delivered by consultants with extensive experience of working in and around health policy.
