NEC Health at the Integrated Care Delivery Forum 2026

NEC Health is proud to partner with the Integrated Care Delivery Forum London 2026, taking place on 3 November 2026 at BMA House, London. We’ll be joining health and care leaders to explore how integrated and neighbourhood care can move from policy ambition to practical delivery. 

The forum brings together leaders from across the NHS, local government, primary and community care, and digital and data to examine the partnerships, infrastructure and delivery models needed to support more joined-up, patient-centred care.

As health and care systems consider how more services can be delivered closer to home, an important question emerges: how do we ensure neighbourhood care is designed around the reality of people’s lives and the way they actually move through health and care?

That question will be at the heart of a panel discussion featuring Danny Weston, Head of Health Strategy at NEC Digital Studio. 

Neighbourhood health in practice: how do we design neighbourhood care around real citizen journeys?

Tuesday 3 November | 13:40–14:30
Neighbourhoods and systems theatre 

Danny will join a panel of health and care leaders bringing perspectives from across NHS delivery, primary care, local government and system collaboration: 

• Louise Dark, Chief Executive – Integrated and Specialist Med, GTTS

• Agatha Nortley-Meshe, Former Regional Medical Director for Primary Care, NHS London 

• Fiona Russell, Director of Care, Community and Health Integration, Barking & Dagenham London Borough Council 

Together, they will move beyond the policy ambition for neighbourhood health to examine what it means in operational reality. 

The discussion will consider which services and pathways can realistically move closer to home over the next two to three years, how neighbourhood health should connect with existing place-based governance without introducing further complexity, and what success should look like for systems and the communities they serve. 

It will also explore the role of user-centred design, service design, data and insights from frontline staff and patients in developing a deeper understanding of real care journeys. 

For Danny, the focus is on designing neighbourhood care around how people actually experience and move through services, identifying where care becomes fragmented and where it could connect more effectively. 

Meet the NEC Health team 

Alongside Danny’s contribution to the programme, NEC Health will be exhibiting throughout the Integrated Care Delivery Forum. 

Terry Murphy, Tony King and Mark Holleron will be attending, providing an opportunity to meet the team and discuss the challenges health and care organisations are addressing as they develop more connected, digitally enabled approaches to care.
