LOCSU’s Inaugural Chair Conference is a Great Success

Over 50 attendees joined LOCSU’s inaugural chairs conference in London.

LOC chairs and vice-chairs of all levels and experience were invited to attend the event, led by Dr Joy Tweed, an academic and trainer in corporate governance, former course leader of an MSc in governance and leadership in healthcare, and current chair of LOCSU, alongside Fionnuala Kidd, LOCSU Advancement Lead.

The conference covered committee engagement, how to run effective LOC meetings, external influencing and how LOC chairs can have influence in their local network. Chairs and vice-chairs from across England also had the opportunity to network and hear about the successes and challenges faced by other LOCs.

The first of its kind, the chair conference was developed following feedback from LOCs that they would like more role-specific training and development. Following this, LOCSU is now looking at other appropriate training for different LOC roles.
