Communities are playing an increasingly important role in improving health and meeting the wellbeing needs of people locally, highlighted in part by their role in the response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Integrated care systems (ICSs) need to recognise the role communities can play in improving and sustaining good health, and as part of this they need to seek greater involvement with local voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) groups at the place and neighbourhood level, where the link local communities is at its strongest.
This conference will provide an opportunity to discuss the impact of community-led and person-centred approaches to improving health and wellbeing, and to explore what more can be done to build on community interventions, assets and solutions that developed as a response to the pandemic.
It will also consider the challenges of demonstrating value and of working with communities to assess need and provide services. You will hear from community groups who have worked with others – including their ICS, local health system or local authority – to develop a collaborative approach to tackling health inequalities.

Climate change has been recognised as the “biggest global health threat of the 21st Century”. Healthcare is one of the most significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions and there are steps which healthcare professionals and organisations can and should be taking to tackle this issue. In 2020, the NHS set out a bold ambition to become the world’s first carbon net zero national health system by 2045.
The Safety For All campaign is hosting a webinar on the topic of sustainability where attendees will have the opportunity to hear from a frontline health worker leading the sustainability charge within her NHS trust and the ABHI’s Sustainability Executive who will speak about the steps industry can take to improve sustainability. The webinar is open to everyone with an interest in the importance of sustainability in healthcare.

The webinar will be aimed at all Nursing and Midwifery professionals in all healthcare settings. It will look at time-critical medication and improving practice in this area, with a particular focus on medication for Parkinson’s Disease and Diabetes. The webinar will draw on expertise in Pharmacy, Nursing, Midwifery and other specialists such as Parkinson’s UK (charity) and their patient led campaign, which links to the focus on Personalised Care in the NHS Long Term Plan.
There will be presentations from patient representatives who will share their experience of receiving time critical medication in healthcare settings and experts in this area.
The design of the webinar has taken a collaborative approach - with the co-design taking place between NHS England, subject matter experts, clinicians and patient representatives. The codesign process will involve nursing, medical and pharmacy staff in discussion and feedback on processes for safely delivering time critical medication. This will educate staff and help to improve processes through the involvement of both staff and patients.
