About
NHS England recognises that voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations (or VCSEs) play an essential role in local health and care systems. There are clear expectations that VCSE organisations should be involved in both ICS governance structures and in delivery. However, navigating how to do partnership working can be tough.
Connecting Health Communities initiative supports VCSE organisations and local systems to work together to reduce health inequalities and to engage with complexity and achieve change.
Join our webinar to hear about the initiative, learning from the work around our cross-sector partnership’s journey on improving access to cancer screening in Eastbourne, East Sussex.
