Making STPs a Reality: Action to Deliver Better Care

Every health and care system in England has been tasked with implementing a multi-year Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP). STPs will become the single application and approval process for accessing NHS transformation funding, with the best plans receiving funding allocations first. Getting the approach right to local plans is key to making the vision a reality, ensuring changes drive better health outcomes, better patient care and sustainable transformation in service delivery. Our interactive and engaging conference Making STPs a Reality: Action to Deliver Better Care will support care providers, commissioners and local councils improve health and care in their area.

This conference will support care providers, commissioners and local councils improve health and care in their area. Our conference agenda has been designed to not help organisations drive better quality and more sustainable health care services but understand how to collaborate to deliver improved population health and wellbeing.

October 24th, 2017 | 8:30 am – 4:30 pm
Royal Garden Hotel, London
