How the NHS can better engage with citizens and communities

Are systems set up to meet the needs of future generations? Is enough being done to act on the social determinants of health? In this episode, we hear five perspectives on these questions and get their take on why – and how – the relationship between the NHS, citizens and communities needs to change.


Recorded at the ICS Network’s conference in November and chaired by Jacob Lant, chief executive of National Voices, the episode features:


  • Haris Sultan, NExT Director programme and member West Yorkshire ICB
  • Oliver Coppard, Mayor, South Yorkshire
  • Leanora Volpe, Anchor Programme Lead at South East London ICS
  • Marsha McAdam, Service User Representative and Vice-Chair, Mental Health Network.
