Neighbourhoods First: Transforming Local Health and Care Together
The North West Collaborative, in partnership with the Centre for Management Development & Innovation, is bringing together leaders to focus on neighbourhood-level care. Achieving success will require addressing health inequalities, leveraging smarter technology, and strengthening collaboration between the NHS and local government.
This Hackathon invites leaders to co-design local solutions and rethink how care is delivered. We encourage cross-sector neighbourhood groups—driven by a shared commitment to meaningful change in partnership with their communities—to take part. Some groups may arrive with a clear idea ready to develop, while others may use the opportunity to align their goals and begin shaping a collaborative plan.
Participants can expect a dynamic day: the morning features insights from a panel of cross-sector collaboration experts and themed networking opportunities. In the afternoon, groups will work on their specific challenges with guidance from subject matter experts and coaches. The event will conclude with a session to share solutions and connect further across groups.
