Yesterday, we welcomed more than 100 colleagues from over 70 practices across our membership to our second in-person Members Meeting of the year, bringing primary care together to explore the future of neighbourhood health.
With significant changes ahead for the NHS, we were delighted to welcome Dr Russell Hills and Dr Jessica Randall-Carrick, two of NHS England’s Medical Directors from the EoE Region, who shared insights and success stories from across the country.
Following an opening address from our CEO, members took part in enthusiastic discussions around four key questions, sharing perspectives, exploring challenges, and considering how we can prepare for the future. An insightful Q&A added further depth to the conversation.
The energy in the room was great to see and the session has also highlighted key areas where practices need time to discuss and shape the future. The engagement, openness and willingness to collaborate highlighted the value of bringing primary care colleagues together to share learning and shape what comes next.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended and contributed, to our speakers for sharing their expertise, and particularly to NHS England for helping make the meeting such a valuable experience.
Together, we can help shape a neighbourhood health approach that works for our communities.
