VSNW invites you to the second in a series of North West networking events to explore how upcoming NHS Changes will affect the VCSE sector
About this event
Following the success of our first event in May, VSNW’s second event in our ‘VCSE North West Networking Series’ will explore the upcoming fundamental changes to how the health and care system works locally.
In February 2021, the Department of Health and Social Care launched a white paper presenting the new proposals to reform the NHS and social care, and implement the NHS Long Term Plan. The focus is on greater integration and to improve care. As part of this a key aim is to tackle health inequalities. The white paper can be found here.
However: What does this mean for the VCSE sector? What are the challenges and what are the opportunities?
We welcome guest speakers to help shed some light:
David Sweeney, Executive Director of Partnerships at Cheshire and Merseyside Health and Care Partnership.
&
Carrie McKenzie, Voluntary Partnerships Senior Manager at NHS England and NHS Improvement
VSNW have also produced a resource drawing out key information from the white paper relevant to the VCSE sector, which can be found here.

VSNW hopes this networking event series will give organisations across the North West the opportunity to correspond with others and make connections in light of what has been an isolated year during the pandemic.
Once registered, Zoom joining details will be emailed to you the day prior to the event
We look forward to seeing you there.
