This conference will explore the ways NHS organisations and their partners can collaborate in order to meet the needs of the population they serve. Showcasing learning from national and international accountable care systems, as well as other emerging new care models, conference sessions will provide a key opportunity to hear and learn from local areas on the journey towards more systemic and integrated approaches to improving population health.
