The National Care Forum (NCF) – the leading association for not-for-profit social care, together with headline sponsors, Marr Procurement, are pleased to welcome senior leaders from across its diverse membership to join them for the Leadership Summit on Tuesday 14th October at Convene on Bishopsgate in London. The event will have a strong focus on creating a clear pathway for care and support providers towards care for the future that meets the needs of the sector around staff efficiencies and cost savings.
The event agenda brings together an illustrious range of speakers from across government, academia, technology providers, social care providers and international experts. Speakers include Amy Carmichael, Head of Digital Strategy, Innovation and Skills Adult Social Care Tech and Emma Donnelly, Strategy Lead for Adult Social Care Tech Policy at the Department of Health and Social Care. Also speaking at the Summit are Liz Ashall-Payne, Founder of The Organisation for the Review of Health and Care Apps (ORCHA), Dr Annemarie Naylor, Director of HealthTech and Innovation Growth at the University of Liverpool Civic Health Innovation Labs and Katie Thorn, Digital Project Lead at Digital Care Hub.
Vic Rayner OBE, CEO of NCF commented: “Together with the NCF team I’m looking forward to getting together with our not-for-profit care and support provider members to visualise
the digital future of care and support. We have spent many years building partnerships with technology suppliers and developing international connections to help us understand how the digital agenda is transforming care across the globe. These connections are essential in understanding what future opportunities for care and support might look like for us here in the UK. We have included many of these insights into the programme for the Leadership Summit which will help our members visualise their organisation’s digital transformation, or to expand on the digital plans they may have already started.
“We’re delighted to have so many expert speakers joining us and are particularly excited to be welcoming Liz Ashall-Payne, founder of ORCHA. Liz will deliver an exciting session where she will share practical strategies for building confidence in digital and AI solutions and help providers explore how transparent evaluation, ethical data use, and clear communication create a chain of trust that drives adoption, improves outcomes, and unlocks the full potential of technology.”
Christoph Marr, Managing Director of Marr Procurement said: “We are proud to be headline sponsors for the National Care Forum’s Leadership Summit. This follows an extremely rewarding 10 year relationship with NCF. NCF’s Annual Conference is well attended by a large number of care and support sector decision makers and this year’s event is vital as providers visualise the digital future of care and support. Given the significant cost pressures facing care providers, we will be sharing practical ways to reduce operating costs without compromising on care or quality.”
