Donna Hall
Honorary Professor of Politics at the University of Manchester, and is also an Integrated Care System Adviser to NHS England.
She explores the need for different conversations with people to build resilient communities and individuals, and provides insight into the work she is involved in, by investing in the first
1,000 days of life as a key point of intervention. The former chief executive of Wigan Council also shares why integrated care systems need to be clear about what they are going to do, and
to ask themselves the honest question, ‘how integrated are we?’
