Surrey Heartlands Population Health Summit 2023

The event gives us an opportunity to promote a local understanding of population health and bring the underlying ideas to life with case studies and breakout groups, linked to the delivery of the Surrey Health and Wellbeing Strategy.

We are excited to be welcoming over 100 colleagues from across our partnership to the first Surrey Heartlands Population Health Summit on Tuesday 21st March 2023 in Epsom.

We will discuss how the concept of population health management can help address the challenges facing some of our priority populations and think about how our ICS partnership needs to evolve.

Please note, this is a ticket-only event and details of how to book have been shared via internal channels.
