Information for newly appointed chief people officers, Yorkshire and Humber HRD Network
We would like to take this opportunity to extend a very warm welcome to the region and in particular to our Yorkshire and Humber HRD network.
Our regional network is an established and well-respected peer-led forum that provides access to learning and sharing of good practice, peer networking, collaborating and creating opportunities to influence national policy and thinking. We hope that you will become an active member in our network.
This web page will be useful in helping to familiarise yourself with the support that NHS Employers alongside your regional network can give you. We have included information about the co-chairs of the network, the key priorities that the Yorkshire and Humber network are currently focusing on, as well as other useful links and contacts.
The network is organised and coordinated by NHS Employers via the national engagement service team.
If you have any outstanding questions, please do contact us and we will be very happy to help.
