Managing New Realities (MNR) has always given people who use and deliver services a chance to speak up about where the challenges lie and what could be done to enable better, more efficient practices. As the election looms, this conference is a unique opportunity to hear from services users, leading service providers and commissioners and policy makers. 

Topics that will be discussed this year include:

• How can Whitehall facilitate ways of using finance or contracts to integrate services more effectively?
• Case study from Cumbria on how to pool the assets you have to improve services and outcomes.
• Engaging effectively with local communities and improving people's access to services.
• Looking ahead to the major trends in public policy and what it means for services.

Speakers include:

David Halpern  Director of Research, Institute of Government 

Sir Bob Kerslake  Chief Executive, Homes and Communities Agency 

Jill Stannard  Acting Chief Executive, Cumbria County Council 

Lord Warner  Former Health Minister  

The event will be followed by a drinks reception.
