The government is keen to spin out services within the NHS into social enterprises. However, the appetite among NHS staff for employee ownership is unproven. This summit will ask some key questions such as: can social enterprise bridge the gap between cooperation and competition in the NHS? What happens when they fail and will staff be protected?   ClearlySo members can benefit from a 10% discount on this event.
