Are you looking to take the next step in your career and work in a different area of the public sector? This event will focus on how it feels to move between sectors and how to do it at a senior level. We are delighted that Professor Chris Whitty (Chief Medical Officer for England) will be joining the event to talk about just that; his career path from healthcare, academia through to central government. As well as plenty of time for networking with peers and representatives from public sector organisations, there will also be a panel discussion with other senior leaders who have moved sectors, a high-profile public sector executive search firm and the unit responsible for government secondments.
