The Breaking Barriers Summit was put together specifically for 250 leaders and senior managers from local government and the NHS with focus on the collaboration and integration of services- and making better use of assets, more effective management of facilities and technology led opportunities to achieve their goals.
The Summit hopes to act as a catalyst for change in areas of policy, strategy and operation that will go to the heart of addressing the challenges facing the health and social care economy.
Delegates had the opportunity to engage with the Breaking Barriers report findings and recommendations through presentations and participation with the case studies by the report authors and supporters.
