Senior Leadership Community Event 2026
Leading to Change is delighted to invite our senior leadership alumni from across Health, Social Care and Social Work in Scotland to our first collective community event. We’d love you to join us.
Why this Event?
Over the past year, conversations with senior leadership alumni have highlighted one message:
Leaders want more time and space to connect, learn together, and influence meaningful system-wide change.
This event has been designed directly from these insights. We’re planning to welcome up to 80 senior leadership alumni for an energising and restorative day of:
- Strengthening our leadership community.
- Sharing practice and learning.
- Building cross-sector connections.
Our Shared Focus
With major strategic frameworks including Population Health and Public Service Reform shaping 2025 and beyond, we’ll explore:
- How can we work together differently to realise these ambitions?
- What can we learn from Christie, Feeley, and the National Care Service journey?
- Where are we already working in the ways we need to, and what can these examples teach us?
What to Expect
- Real-world examples of delivering Population Health Strategy 2025 and Public Service Reform.
- Open Space sessions for cross-sector learning and collaboration.
- Leadership panel on navigating pressures and how to prepare for transitions to senior roles.
- Opportunities to shape what this Senior Leadership Community becomes next.
- Closing comments and the opportunity to continue the conversation at an optional social gathering nearby.
