Tackling poverty is important as it has far-reaching impacts on the health, wellbeing, and development of babies, children, and families – it also makes parenting much harder. More families are struggling to make ends meet, placing immense stress on parents, and leaving babies and children vulnerable to the effects of financial hardship.

In this important webinar, we’ll hear from a range of experts, including a courageous young parent called Corrine. Corrine will share her experiences of living through the challenges of financial hardship and its impact on her health and wellbeing.  Corrine now uses her voice to advocate for change. In October 2023, Corrine attended the Labour and Conservative party conferences, where she shared her experiences directly with national decision-makers, working to ensure families like hers are heard and supported.

Our expert panel of speakers will also include:

Professor Monica Lakhanpal, Professor of Integrated Community Child Health Population, Policy & Practice Dept, UCL GOS Institute of Child Health. Monica is an internationally renowned expert in this field, using innovative approaches to research to drive change for economically and socially disadvantaged groups whose needs are often overlooked. Monica will present on the national context of poverty, sharing her ground-breaking research and policy recommendations for change.

Claire Scothern – General Manager – Children’s Services for Derbyshire Community Health Services Foundation Trust. Claire will share their award-winning innovation to improve outcomes for families affected by poverty. Through their ground-breaking local partnership between Derby health visiting services and the Citizen’s Advice Bureau, they have enabled families to have rapid access to personalised support, putting millions of pounds of unclaimed benefits into the pockets of families in need. This collaborative model of working won last year’s Nursing Times’ public health nursing award and can easily be replicated in other areas. Join our webinar to learn more about it.

This Insights event is an opportunity to come together as a health visiting community, listen to real experiences, learn about the current landscape of poverty, and explore actionable solutions that can make a real difference for families.

This year’s annual iHV Leadership Conference ‘Change for the better: Leading towards a fairer and equitable future‘ will be held on Wednesday 4 December 2024 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms, Holborn, London.

The vibrant iHV Leadership Conference has become the highlight of the year for many – bringing together health visitors, health visiting leaders, policymakers, academics and partners from all four nations of the UK, all united in a shared vision to drive meaningful change for babies, children, families and communities through excellence in health visiting.

We have a fantastic line up of high profile and inspirational speakers all focused on equipping us to lead change for the better – the programme is organised around four key themes:

Leading change, improving health equity: Health disparities persist across the UK, and the need for equitable healthcare has never been more pressing. Learn from leading experts in their field and discover actionable strategies that you can implement in your practice.

Leading health visiting policy across the UK: We are delighted to be joined by a 4-nations’ CNO panel discussing their strategies for health visiting in the UK, and the importance of leadership to strengthen prevention, population health and health equity.

Leading through research and evidence-based practice: Engage with cutting-edge research that is shaping the future of health visiting.

Lead Change, Shape the Future: Focused on leading and equipping the health visiting workforce. Explore the tools, strategies, and mindset needed to lead with impact.

Attendance Options:

Join us in-person in London: More and more people are telling us how much they value the opportunity to meet together in-person. London in December offers a unique setting for our conference, with an air of celebration as lights adorn the streets, creating a festive atmosphere unlike any other. This special occasion not only provides an opportunity to engage with thought-provoking discussions and insightful sessions, but also to reconnect with colleagues and build lasting relationships.

Don’t just take our word for it – here is what previous conference delegates said:

“This was probably one of the most inspiring conferences I’ve been to. Such incredible work driven by passionate professionals. My head was buzzing of ideas after I left and still is”

“Wow – Very strong speakers. Wonderful how new innovative practices and policies are shared and to hear it so eloquently from a parent’s perspective too”

“What an inspiring day. Such positive vibes about health visiting and it’s great to see we have fantastic leaders fighting the cause for health visiting”

Unable to join in person – don’t miss out, we also offer the choice to join online: Thanks to our partnership with Inclusive Digital, a leading digital production company with expertise in online conferences, we have now refined the art of online conference and offer a fabulous conference experience to online delegates:

“An opportunity to attend virtually was invaluable. I feel I have had the benefits of going – renewed motivation, reminder of why we do this etc – without the long journey and the expense of staying in accommodation”

“The online option is a great inclusion and I really appreciate the opportunity to join…thank you”

“It was an amazing day, even attending virtually I felt part of the room.”

“I found the experience of viewing online was much improved. Viewing of presentations, layout of graphics, excellent”
