Local Healthwatch - Working with Integrated Care Boards

About this event

This webinar will cover the learning from the work undertaken by The Advocacy People, which was commissioned by Healthwatch England, on how local Healthwatch are engaging with Integrated Care Boards (ICBs). It will provide a snapshot of how they are working and adapting in a challenging and uncertain environment.

Type of event

Webinar with presentation on the findings and learning from the report, plus a question and answer session.

Who is this event for?

Anyone in Healthwatch who is working with ICBs or thinking about how best to engage with them.

What you will learn?

The report was produced during a period of significant national change. The Dash Review and NHS 10 Year Plan proposed the transfer of Healthwatch functions to the DHSC, ICBs and local authorities, with key details still to be confirmed. At the same time, ICBs are changing through mergers, clustering, governance redesign, and wider workforce pressures. This leaves organisations delivering local Healthwatch operating in a challenging and uncertain environment.

By joining this webinar you will gain insight into four key questions covered in the report:

1. How are local Healthwatch currently engaging with ICBs?

2. What helps or limits influence?

3. How are local Healthwatch adapting to larger footprints, collaboration and changing structures?

4. What does this tell us about the future of independent patient voice?

Who is running this event?

Jo Jarman and Richard Motley, The Advocacy People
