People Professional Communities of Practice (CoP)

We are excited to invite all People Professionals across our GM system to our upcoming Communities of Practice event. Whether you specialise in L&D, work in HR, are an OD Practitioner, or an EDI colleague, and regardless of whether you are from Health, Social, Fire, GMP, or our VCSE sector, you are welcome to join us. This event is an excellent opportunity to make new connections, reconnect with colleagues, and hear from our partners about the exciting work being undertaken across our system.

This time, we'll hear from Rebecca Coles, Head of OD & Engagement at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, who will explore elements of The Christie’s culture work with us. This was recently highlighted in an NW Leadership Academy case study. Rebecca will touch on ‘connection’ as a driver for The Christie’s work; equally through human connection and the wider elements of collaborating and designing connected systems and processes. She’ll also talk about different lenses on the concept of ‘inclusive culture’ in their organisational journey, and draw on threads from an action research project she’s been involved in with the Kings Fund on organisational anxiety. There’ll be opportunity for you to chat with others and explore these themes in relation to your own work.
