Why this conference?
Total Place is being held up as an example of a radical initiative that has demonstrated how a whole area approach to public services can improve the quality of services at a reduced cost. It has attracted high-level interest and is being seen as a way of achieving more with less. This will remain a central challenge for health and social care professionals.

This half-day conference will feature speakers from pilot sites involved in the Total Place initiative and will explore how the NHS can draw on Total Place to develop health and social care services.
