South East Systems Leaders Peer Network and Learning Programme: Cohort 2 October 2025 – March 2026 (5 sessions)

About the programme:

The aim of the 5-day programme is to give you practical support, and to help you navigate your way through complexity and uncertainty. The programme is designed to provide support to help address the issues we are facing. We’ve all seen meetings where people commit to change, but little happens afterwards. The programme explores why that is using the concept of Immunity to Change—and how to overcome it. It will enable you to build your knowledge, understanding, expertise and connections within and across sectors, and help you try out new ways of thinking and working that can lead to better outcomes for you, your teams and your communities. You will have the opportunity to learn from others in the space, benefit from their experiences and collaborate with peers.

Who is this session for?

This virtual programme is for people inside and outside the NHS, who have an interest in working collaboratively at neighbourhood and place and want to take action to improve health and care for their citizens. We invite participants from Leaders in and beyond health and care across the South East.  Anyone driving collaborative working at neighbourhood, place or system level.
