‘Crisis’ in the NHS
What’s behind it and what can be done?’
Ian Smith & Cedi Frederick
I wrote to Ian and Cedi recently and asked them both “What is currently getting your goat with the NHS’. Both responded “Where do we start?”
Can I remind you that Ian and Cedi have both been members of TLC for over 8 years and both have vast experience with the NHS. They are experts on the subjects and the challenges and frustrations.
Ian Smith is Chair of NHS Surrey Heartlands ICS whilst Cedi is Chair of NHS Kent and Medway.
I invite you to this extraordinary event where you will learn the views of two highly experienced and respected Chairs and I have no doubt that we will attract an audience who look forward to sharing their concerns and observations also
