The NHS England Induction and Assurance Team is responsible for planning and delivering one-day welcome events for newly appointed Chair and Non-Executive Directors. The main purpose of these events is to offer participants the opportunity to meet members of the NHS England executive team, to orient new joiners to support offers and development opportunities and to give them the chance to network and build contacts with peers.
It is aimed at individuals who have only just joined the NHS in a non-executive capacity, have made a switch from executive to non-executive or are a first time Chair, including those who missed the last event’s registration window.
The event runs bi-annually and the registration window typically opens 8 weeks prior. Please keep an eye on this page and local communications for details regarding the next event.
Upcoming events:
Thursday 10th April 2025 – Leeds
