VODG | VODG Operations Directors' Professional Network Meeting

The latest meeting of the VODG Operations Directors' professional network is open for booking!

The meeting will start with Sarah Woodhouse, Head of Policy and Influencing at VODG. Sarah will share an update from VODG’s research with Collaborate CIC on commissioning, including provocations for change and the shifts needed to embed greater collaboration. Following this we are delighted to welcome back Cordis Bright who will be giving us an overview of the outlook for the care sector, including thoughts on the implications of the recent budget announcement and any updates regarding ongoing legislative initiatives.

Following this, Jonathan Taylor of Innovation Broking will be speaking about the critical importance of adequate insurance cover, discussing the various types of cover available and highlighting current risks and claims trends.

Finally we will welcome Becky Valentine of Spenbeck, who will be discussing ESG, particularly in relation to the incoming CQC requirements, ways in which ESG can be kept simple, and small steps that can be taken to make big changes.

We hope you can join us!
