North East Together – Leaders Network for Social Change
Inspiration. Collaboration. Mutual Support
Event 6: Health, Devolution & Social Movements
Thursday 19th May, 4.45 – 8pm.
Venue: Partners Room, 8th Floor, Newcastle University Business School.
The next ‘whole network event’ will explore the social movements: how they contribute to the health and wellbeing agenda, and how they fit with new devolved power arrangements in England.
The speakers are Alan Higgins, Director of Public Health from Oldham Council – and lead for Arts, Health and Social Movements for the Greater Manchester devolved authority, and Nick Dixon, a Commissioning Manager for Stockport Council, who plays a key role in the NHS’ Health As A Social Movement programme. They have some very exciting ideas about the role of social movements in creating a healthier society. (I’ve never heard a Director of Public Health talk about mass protest as a way to promote health issues before, have you?)
As always, the event is free to attend, but registration is essential.
