We had an incredibly inspiring and motivating day at iHV’s annual Leadership conference – Leadership for the future – #iHVLeadership19.
The iHV Leadership for the future conference, held on 3 December 2019 at Woburn House Conference Centre in London, was a fantastic opportunity for health professionals across the country to find out the latest in leadership in health visiting practice among like-minded professionals and peers, as well as finding out the latest on our evidence-based blue print to rebuild health visiting services – ‘Health Visiting in England: A Vision for the Future’.
Our tickets were sold out and we had a full house of 200 who listened to our inspirational and passionate speakers:
- Sir Al Aynsley-Green, Professor of Advocacy for Children and Childhood, at Nottingham Trent University and former First Children’s Commissioner for England
- Professor Dame Sue Hill DBE, Chief Scientific Officer NHS England, national lead for Genomics
- LEGO Professor of Play, Dr Paul Ramchandani
- Professor Jim McManus, Vice President, Association of Directors of Public Health

In addition, our Guest speaker of our annual lecture was:
