White Paper, White Light: the future of system leadership in healthcare

In DAC Beachcroft's latest episode of Lawcast Mike Bell (Chair of Croydon Health Services in South London and Chair of Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals in North East London) is joined by Nnenna Osuji (currently Medical Director and Deputy Chief Executive at Croydon Health Services and Joint Clinical Lead for South West London, and soon to be Chief Executive of North Middlesex University Hospital), and Ben Morrin (Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust). He is also joined by Udara Ranasinghe, partner at DAC Beachcroft and expert in health employment law.

This third episode in the White Paper, White Light series considers how system leadership across different organisations in healthcare has manifested itself during the pandemic. Including how group models, ICS and regional levels of system leadership have worked, and how these may develop in light of the White Paper.

Mike, Nnenna, Ben and Udara explore some of the practical issues of leading across organisations, staff sharing, and how Memorandums of Understanding could be a model for the future. They also discuss how EDI legislation may impact upon system workforce.
