As set out in the Compliance Framework (point 30), Monitor runs induction seminars for newly appointed chairs and chief executives of NHS foundation trusts who have not had prior experience of Monitor’s authorisation process.
As part of Monitor’s reporting requirements, if a chair or chief executive has not attended, or is not scheduled to attend, this programme within six months of their appointment, an explanation is required as to when they will attend. If this is not the case, an explanation is required as to why attendance is not considered necessary.
The next programme is scheduled for Friday 22 June 2012 (please note the session on Thursday 22 March 2012 is now full).
Places on the programme, which will be held at Monitor's office in Westminster, are allocated on a first come first served basis to those delegates who meet the criteria outlined in the Compliance Framework.
A formal invitation will be sent by relationship managers in due course, but expressions of interest and places can be booked in advance by contacting gillian.murphy@monitor-nhsft.gov.uk.
