The Cumberland Initiative is a unique collaboration between academics, modelling and simulation practitioners, and the healthcare sector in the UK, led by Professor Terry Young of Brunel University as:

"a movement to encourage systems thinking, simulation and modelling of healthcare scenarios to improve NHS quality of care delivery and save money."

This networking event will include some input from Terry Young about the aims of the Cumberland Initative followed by a discussion of how System Dynamic modelling and simulation can contribute to this agenda.

Admission is free, but you must register so that we know how many people to expect (and please remember to de-register should your plans change).

Tea and coffee will be available from 4.15, and we will start at 4.30, finishing no later than 6.00, when we will adjourn to a nearby bar for refreshments and food (at participants' own expense!).

This event is for members of the SD society and anyone else interested in system dynamics or healthcare strategy.
