This event will be both available to attend in-person, and streamed online.
In the first joint inaugural lecture for the University of Birmingham, join leading academics Professor Catherine Mangan and Professor Robin Miller, who will discuss their experiences of working across both the public sector and academia
Catherine and Robin will draw on a decade of research and education programmes regarding collaborative practice, and their direct experience of leadership within both public service and academia.
Within the lecture, Catherine and Robin will outline a vision of what is required to embed these practices across our organisations and systems and how academia can make a stronger contribution.
They will provide a candid reflection of the realities of professional and organisational collaboration, and why so often leaders miss opportunities to fundamentally improve health, care, and wider outcomes for communities.
