Excellence In Blue Light

7th & 8th September 2022
De Vere Staverton Estate
Daventry

We hear about collaboration across the public sector, Healthcare and Local Government looked to join up when Social Care responsibility was transferred from the NHS to Local Government. Central and Local Government have also been told to work closer as part of decentralisation. Emergency services have always been the most obvious to collaborate and over the past 5 plus years it has been happening, but many have felt that it has been far slower than it should have been. So why is this?

Whilst regional blue light organisations quickly took the first step towards collaboration by sharing buildings to cut costs many are now looking at how to move beyond this. That challenge though is overcoming the different requirements the 3 sectors have when it comes to joint control rooms, each has different requirements for staff, IT systems, back office etc. So how can blue light have one solution which all 3 sectors can operate from whilst adhering to the various requirements?

All of this is against a backdrop of decreasing budgets, lowering of the size of workforces and a dip in public belief and confidence in the emergency services whilst trying to increase efficiency. How can Blue Light organisations collaborate whilst maintaining their individualities?

Excellence In Blue Light will bring together senior leaders from across Police, Fire & Rescue Services and Ambulance Trusts to share their individual experiences with the hope that the collaboration of ideas during the event will replicate collaboration in the business world.
