In order to celebrate the opening of Inventures midlands office earlier this year and to offer a platform for key decision makers to debate the current changes to the NHS, we are holding a forum on Thursday 9 July from 4-6pm at 43 Temple Row, Birmingham, B2 5LS.

Just a few weeks after the NHS Confederation described the financial situation facing us as ‘the NHS’s greatest ever leadership challenge,” our two speakers will be sharing their thoughts on the subject:

Peter Wearmouth - The Challenge to Meet the NHS Efficiency Drive

Peter previously held positions as Policy Director at the DoH and Chief Executive of the former NHS Estates. Peter undertook a number of National and Local strategic service/ estate/ property reviews, and carried out the first review in 15 years of procurement, operation and disposal of the NHS Estate. Peter has managed a number of major PFIs and PPPs including the £2bn partnering programme (Procure21) with the construction industry and the development and sale of surplus land and property with a value over £1.5bn. Peter led on a number of national service improvements to deliver to customer satisfaction, improve safety, develop good first impressions and feel good factors for NHS care. 

Jill Ashley Jones - Remember the Shadow That You Cast: Using Motivational Leadership Profiling to Create the Climate for Innovation

Jill held a variety of positions including Director of Nursing & Quality, Chief Nurse Public Health Nursing and DoH Nursing Officer – Occupational Health. She was the Executive Lead on developing Clinical Empowerment programmes to change the culture/skills of nurses and therapists to realise the shift from secondary to primary care. Jill delivered key projects for the DoH NHSPlus programme, Foundation Trusts and Primary Care Trusts. Jill developed the Succession plan and Talent Management model for SHA. She is currently developing the Executive Coaching Strategy for implementation within the West Midlands SHA community.
