NHS Confed Expo 2026: Join our session
Joe Norbury will be joining system leaders at NHS Confed Expo to share practical learning from Hull and East Riding’s Home First discharge transformation programme and the realities of redesigning care closer to home.
At this year’s NHS Confed, Joe Norbury, Senior Manager at The PSC, will join Erica Daley, Christy Francis and Rachel Kemp to explore how partners across health, social care and the VCSE worked together to redesign discharge pathways and expand intermediate care in the community across Hull and East Riding.

The session will explore how partners across City Health Care Partnership (CHCP), Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, the ICB, local authority partners and the VCSE worked together to safely shift capacity from acute and community beds into community-based intermediate care.
Alongside reducing discharge delays and increasing homecare capacity, the programme has enabled more people to receive intermediate care closer to home, supported by system-wide demand and capacity modelling, shared decision-making and redesigned pathways across health and social care.
Rather than focusing solely on headline outcomes, the discussion will examine how the transformation was delivered in practice – including how organisations aligned around common goals, developed plans collaboratively across organisational boundaries and implemented changes safely at system scale.
Join the session at 10am on Wednesday 10th June 2026, in the Neighbourhood health Learning Theatre. Visit the NHS Confed Expo website to find out more and add the session to your calendar.
