SUMMARY:Heartbeats on the High Street - Community Pharmacy Report Launch
DESCRIPTION:ResPublica is launching its latest report on Community Pharmacy in which we make the case for community pharmacies as a first port of call in primary care. Our research argues that the NHS can no longer afford to overlook the role that community pharmacies can play in reducing the cost burden on taxpayers and the capacity burden on GPs. Community Pharmacy has an opportunity to better communicate its role\, and increase the recognition of its services and representation among policy makers. We believe it is time to make the social and economic case for clinical\, personal and community-led pharmacy. \nThe event will feature a panel discussion\, with the following confirmed speakers: \n\nSir Kevin Barron MP\, Chair – All Party Parliamentary Group on Pharmacy\nDr Lawrence Brad\, RCGP Clinical Representative\nHeather Henry\, Queen’s Nurse and Chair\, New NHS Alliance\nAndrew McCracken\, Head of Communications\, National Voices\nGraham Phillips\, Superintdendent\, Manor Pharmacy Group\nDr James Noyes\, Report Author\, ResPublica (Chair)\n\nJoining us will be a diverse range of senior representatives from across national and local government\, the media and industry. Spaces will be strictly limited and will be allocated on a first come\, first serve basis. Please register for your place as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. To RSVP for tickets\, please contact Brendon Marsh at events@respublica.org.uk. \nAlternatively you can register for places on our Eventbrite page for the launch event here

SUMMARY:Backing Beauty Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Held on 20th July 2016 as part of the work of ResPublica’s Backing Beauty Commission\, this roundtable focused on how to encourage local authority investment in the public realm at a time of fiscal restraint\, and how to make the most of the considerable resources and enthusiasm of ordinary citizens in shaping their locality. The discussion was attended by participants including Simon Gallagher\, Director of Planning at DCLG; Professor Tony Travers; and representatives from the Department of Health and a number of city councils. \nThe discussion identified a number of barriers to the creation of a more beautiful public realm\, of which the two principal challenges were the perception of beauty as a luxury add-on and a lack of resource at the local level to invest in the creation and ongoing upkeep of beautiful spaces and places. The value of harnessing a range of deliberative techniques and new and emerging digital technologies in deciding what public realm improvements should be prioritised was stressed. \nIt was argued more innovative uses of existing policy tools such as the Community Infrastructure Levy and Business Improvement Districts\, together with original thinking about how the state can harness the energy and creativity of citizens through handing down responsibility for creating and maintaining beautiful public spaces such as community gardens\, should be considered to help resolve these barriers. In areas where little development is currently planned or ongoing\, Social Impact Bonds were suggested as a way to finance this investment. \nTo find out more about the project associated with this event please contact Duncan Sim\, Senior Policy and Projects Officer\, at duncan.sim@respublica.org.uk.

SUMMARY:True North 2016: Realising the Northern Powerhouse
DESCRIPTION:On Friday 8th July\, ResPublica’s inaugural North conference Finding True North hosted over 250 leaders from across the North at the beautiful Lowry Theatre\, Salford. Covered by Manchester Evening News\, The Guardian\, The Times\, FT and on BBC Daily Politics\, the conference saw the launch of A Manifesto for the North mapping out the next steps for the Northern Powerhouse agenda and placing identity\, culture\, collaboration\, and innovation at its heart. \nWith keynote speakers including Greg Clark MP\, James Wharton MP and Dan Jarvis MP\, the conference and manifesto marks the start of our dedicated ResPublica North unit. \nFinding True North was an enormous success and will be returning in 2017 after welcoming over 50 representatives of Local Authorities from across the North\, more than 100 leaders from industry and academia\, dozens of voices from communities and civil society\, and a wealth of national and local journalists. \n\n\n\nAgenda \nThe Government’s Northern Powerhouse concept has unlocked the door to prosperity outside of the South-East\, and given the keys to regional leaders. A key test of this political move’s success will be how it translates into real change for the people who live there. Progress can not be judged solely on higher living standards or the number of jobs created. We must ensure that greater freedoms for citizens aren’t just economic\, but instead that this once in a generation opportunity enables communities to rebuild and society to improve. \nSuccessful cities and regions are also powerhouses for new ideas\, technological innovation and cultural creativity. Finding True North will foster debate as to how we re-awaken and nurture these capacities in our northern cities. We’ll be exploring whether there is an underpinning sense of identity and connection around which the North can build not only economic prosperity\, but forge a cultural and intellectual renaissance. \nThe North is filled with tremendous potential\, backed by a rich history of cultural diversity and intellectual curiosity. When taken together\, the region is home to a number of clear and powerful identities. Newly devolved powers should enable leaders to make use of these distinct identities\, defining a local region’s priorities and needs\, and fostering the pride that will rejuvenate rather than deter. The North has a proud history of creativity\, entrepreneurship\, independence and industry. Enabling collaboration between its businesses\, sectors\, communities and public services\, and fostering constructive and positive dialogue between newly invigorated and empowered local leaders and those who they are elected to serve. \nNorthern cities have for the most part moved to embrace the opportunities extended to them to in the Cities and Local Government Devolution Bill. There is widespread agreement that ‘city deals’ will enable regeneration and improvement\, attracting inward investment necessary for creating a successful future for all its 22 million inhabitants. Without greater effort to collaborate and foster unity\, the region would be unable to escape historic under-performance of its economy and the Government’s ambition for a Northern Powerhouse will be left unfulfilled. \nResPublica’s trail-blazing report Devo Max – Devo Manc spearheaded the debate about city devolution\, arguing that Northern cities and regions developing broader autonomy would be a pre-condition for renewal. Finding True North will platform this discussion as the North embarks on an exciting age of opportunity. \n\nA Manifesto for the North \n \nLaunched on the 8th July at our flagship Finding True North conference in Salford\, A Manifesto for the North is our vision for the region harnessing further devolved powers; culturally vibrant and with the benefits of economic growth accrued to all. \nCommenting on the manifesto\, Rt Hon Greg Clark MP\, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government\, said: “This is an important and thought-provoking Manifesto that deserves to be carefully considered. The Government will work closely with partners across the North to devolve more power to people and places in order to realise our ambitious plans to build a Northern Powerhouse.” \nMinister for the Northern Powerhouse James Wharton MP added: “I welcome the active debate around the future direction and evolution of the Northern Powerhouse. Congratulations to ResPublica for this contribution\, it is an important project and has the potential to deliver real long term benefits to our economy.” \nThere have been too many platitudes written about the North\, and too many partial and piecemeal policies that have done little to reverse the decades of decline. For years\, a combination of indifference and fatalism has left local leaders with a monopoly on power content to administer decline\, and thus they must share some of the blame. \nOf all the post-war innovations and attempts at reversing abject decline\, the Northern Powerhouse has come closest to what is needed. With its mixture of place-based devolution and connectivity\, it has at last created an international brand and vision that has shifted the perception of what might be possible. In this way it has finally created the vehicle that might serve as a conduit for massive private sector investment. \nThese are welcome developments\, but we must go further and faster. For instance\, on transport we must get going on a direct high-speed east to west line. More generally\, the city-region devolution deals should be seen as an opening not a final offer from central government – with the decentralisation of investment decisions greatly expanded in scope and scale. \nPost-Brexit\, we must not lose the north once more. We must maintain the urgent reinvention of our country. We must demand from those who would be our leaders that they mirror their paeans to social justice with a New Deal for the North\, a new deal equal in scale and ambition to what FDR offered a struggling America in the 1930’s. \nNothing less will do\, nothing less will deliver. During the 19th century life in the North was fundamentally changed as prosperity and widespread economic growth was attained. It has achieved this transformation once before and it can do so again. ResPublica offers the ideas herein as its contribution to the promise\, and resurrection\, of the North. \n\nOur #NorthernPowerhouse conference in Salford's beautiful Lowry Theatre #TrueNorth with SoS @GregClarkMP pic.twitter.com/FRq4kKTqqT \n— ResPublica (@res_publica) July 8\, 2016 \n \n\nLabour should lead the debate on how we build the Northern Powerhouse @DanJarvisMP #truenorth \n— ResPublica (@res_publica) July 8\, 2016 \n \n\n#truenorth best sound bite so far @Phillip_Blond "Brexit vote was\, arguably\, the world's biggest vote against globalisation" \n— TonyStacey (@TonyStacey) July 8\, 2016 \n \n\n.@res_publica #truenorth needs one voice @Phillip_Blond given us the vision\, #northern leaders now need to run with it #NorthernPowerhouse \n— Dr Hakim Yadi OBE (@hakim_yadi) July 8\, 2016 \n \nhttps://twitter.com/ClaireBrai/status/751347492495757313 \n\nJames Wharton closes @res_publica event by outlining what the Gvt has done & will do for the #NorthernPowerhouse pic.twitter.com/aY0PXbna90 \n— Afsaneh Farzaneh (@AfsanehF1) July 8\, 2016 \n \n\nA cracking piece\, brimming with ideas.

SUMMARY:The NHS and Social Care: Reducing bed-blocking and financial pressures
DESCRIPTION:Care Minister Rt Hon. Alistair Burt MP joins Barbara Keeley MP\, Shadow Minister for Older People\, Social Care and Carers\, to debate the future of health and social care\, touching upon topical issues about funding and bed-blocking. \n  \nThe NHS\, and hospitals in particular\, are under increasing strain in terms of both funding and capacity. There has been a sharp increase in A&E targets not being met\, and many hospitals are currently at almost full capacity. One of the causes of this increased pressure is the significant number of frail\, elderly people unable to be discharged from hospitals to settings that are more appropriate to their needs\, resulting in so-called ‘bed blocking’. \nThis panel event\, coinciding with ResPublica’s latest report launch\, will examine how to reduce pressures on the NHS by making better use of existing residential care facilities\, and ask what is needed to allow residential care to step up and take on a more substantial role in a more integrated health and social care system. \nResPublica’s previous work on this important area culminated in the publication of The Care Collapse\, which revealed the reliance of the health service on the beds residential care provides. Our forthcoming report builds on that groundwork\, and will consider how policy-makers can enable social care providers to work with partners in the NHS and reduce pressures on the health service. It will also assess the financial provisions for social care contained in the 2015 Autumn Statement\, and consider what alternative funding could be available. \nWe are delighted to be joined by high-profile speakers\, including Barbara Keeley MP\, Shadow Minister for Health\, as we launch this report. \nTo book tickets\, please visit the event page\, or contact events@respublica.org.uk \nwith \nRt Hon Alistair Burt MP\, Minister for Community and Social Care  \nBarbara Keeley MP\, Shadow Minister for Older People\, Social Care and Carers \nJohn Ransford\, Director\, HC-One \nEmily Crawford\, Principal Research Consultant\, ResPublica \nDave West\, Senior Bureau Chief\, Health Service Journal \n

SUMMARY:Ticket to Ride: How high speed rail for Liverpool can help realise the Northern Powerhouse
DESCRIPTION:The Liverpool City Region\, with its world-class port and logistics facilities\, growing business community\, and cultural vibrancy\, has the potential to drive economic growth at a local\, regional and national level. Yet without proper infrastructure links to the rest of the country\, these assets could well be squandered. This panel event\, coinciding with ResPublica’s latest report launch\, will examine the case for new infrastructure connecting Liverpool into the HS2 network\, allowing the city to develop its economic profile to the benefit of the North of England as a whole. \nHS2 is a once in a generation investment: the opportunities it offers should be grasped in full. Yet the current route plan risks delivering lower and less evenly distributed growth for the North compared to a scenario where a link to Liverpool is included. The economic progress seen in the City Region since the turn of the millennium in particular may fall away if it does not see investment in first rate transport connections. \nThis event will discuss the case for connecting the wider North West into the emerging national high speed rail network\, via a link into Liverpool city centre from the planned HS2 route to the north of Crewe. We are delighted to be joined by a host of high-profile speakers\, including the Chair of the National Infrastructure Commission Lord Adonis\, as we make the case for this investment which will unleash the enormous potential of  the Liverpool City Region. \nwith \nLord Adonis\, Chair\, National Infrastructure Commission \nJoe Anderson\, Mayor of Liverpool \nPhillip Blond\, Director\, ResPublica\n \nLouise Ellman MP\, Member for Liverpool Riverside & Chair of the Transport Select Committee \nChair: Andy Bounds\, North of England Correspondent\, Financial Times \n  \n\n \nPowered by Eventbrite

SUMMARY:A Community Right to Beauty
DESCRIPTION:ResPublica is launching its latest report: A Community Right to Beauty: Giving communities the power to shape\, enhance and create beautiful places\, buildings and spaces. Arguing for the restoration and democratisation beauty in public policy\, this seminal publication recommends the extension of community influence in the planning process to ensure beautiful localities are accessible to all. \nBased on findings from a public poll conducted by leading pollsters Ipsos Mori\, the report explores the public’s attitudes towards beauty and perceived local access to beautiful spaces. \nBeauty plays a central role in enabling people and communities to flourish. Our report highlights the health\, economic\, social and civic benefits of living near beautiful surroundings\, and reasserts the importance of its intrinsic value. \nOur report argues for a ‘community right to beauty’ to be introduced via primary legislation\, the details of which will be revealed in the report. The policy recommendations set out a range of new powers and incentives to support the democratic discernment of what makes a neighbourhood beautiful\, and communities’ ability to independently create\, shape and improve their locale. \nAfter opening remarks by ResPublica’s Head of Policy Programmes\, Caroline Julian\, the event will feature a panel discussion\, with the following confirmed speakers: \n\nRt Hon Nick Herbert MP\, former Conservative Minister\nLoyd Grossman\, Chairman of the Heritage Alliance\nDame Fiona Reynolds\, former Chair of the National Trust.\nSir Terry Farrell\, Chair of the Farrell Review of Architecture and the Built Environment\nPhillip Blond\, Director\, ResPublica\n\nJoining us will be a diverse range of senior representatives from across national and local government\, civil society\, the media and leading charities and businesses.. Spaces will be strictly limited and will be allocated on a first come\, first serve basis. Please register for your place as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

SUMMARY:Launch of ResPublica and Core Cities Report at The UK Devolution Summit
DESCRIPTION:View the agenda \nThe debate on devolution\, not only between parliaments\, but for cities and other places across the whole of the UK\, has never been more important to the future of our country. \nAs the General Election approaches\, all major parties have committed to devolution in some form and it will be a key issue in manifestos. Coming so soon after the Smith Commission on devolution to Scotland\, the Summit\, fronted by high profile speakers and delegates\, is a chance to shape the debate. \nThe event will see the launch of a new report from ResPublica\, Restoring Britain’s City States: Devolution\, public service reform and local economic growth\, as part of a major initiative to advance devolution across the UK. \nExamining the key findings of that report\, this Summit will ask how devolution can deliver a more robust\, rebalanced economy for the whole of the UK\, and how it might also be used to drive growth\, create jobs\, and radically transform public services. \nConfirmed speakers include: \n\n\nSir Richard Leese\, Leader\, Manchester City Council; Chair\, Core Cities Group \n\n\nPhillip Blond\, Director\, ResPublica \n\n\nBen Page\, Chief Executive\, Ipsos MORI \n\n\nLord Haughey \n\n\nCllr Gordon Matheson\, Leader of Glasgow City Council \n\n\nProfessor Lesley Sawers\, Pro-Vice Chancellor\, Glasgow Caledonian University \n\n\n\n\nJim Murphy MP\, Scottish Labour Leader \n\n\nProfessor Michael Parkinson\, University of Liverpool \n\n\nCllr Nick Forbes\, Leader\, Newcastle City Council \n\n\nSir Howard Bernstein\, Chief Executive\, Manchester City Council \n\n\nCouncillor Jon Collins\, Leader\, Nottingham City Council \n\n\n  \nThe Summit builds on several recent reports recommending more devolution to cities and other places\, and several ‘Devolution Deals’\, including that for Greater Manchester which will be set out in detail\, asking where next and how other places can benefit.

SUMMARY:Conference 'The Idea of Europe'
DESCRIPTION:The conference on “The Idea of Europe” is organised by the independent journal Telos — a leading publication that brings together intellectuals from around the world\, especially North America and Europe. The conference will take place in L’Aquila\, Italy\, on 5-8 September 2014. \nAmid the war in eastern Ukraine and growing uncertainty within the EU\, the question of Europe has once again come to the fore. Since 1945\, integration has retrieved and extended the ancient Carolingian unity of France and Germany in the west of Europe. But successive waves of EU enlargement have failed to restore and renew the Constantinian vision of a pan-European polity that includes Russia\, Ukraine and Turkey — former empires that emerged from Byzantium and that view themselves as European powers. \nHow can we rethink relations across Europe and also between Europe\, the rest of the West and the wider world? Can we speak of a global Europe without a leading role for Britain and Russia — however unlikely such a scenario currently may be? \nSuch and similar questions will be addressed in the form of plenary panel debates and individual presentations. Among the confirmed speakers are Russell Berman (Stanford)\, Phillip Blond (ResPublica)\, Christopher Coker (LSE)\,Tim Luke (Virginia Tech)\, David Pan (University of California\, Irvine)\, Luciano Pellicani (Rome)\, Nicholas Rengger (St. Andrews) and Richard Sakwa (Kent). \nThere are still places left to attend the conference\, give a presentation or participate in one of the plenary panels. The deadline for registration has been extended until Wednesday 14th August: telosinstitute.net/laquilaconference. \nFor further information\, please email Dr Adrian Pabst\, Associate Editor of Telos\, A.Pabst@kent.ac.uk.

SUMMARY:What Does a Mutual Economy Really Look Like?
DESCRIPTION:On 13th March 2013\, ResPublica launched its latest publication\, Making It Mutual\, which showcases the importance of ownership\, mutuality and reciprocity as mainstream principles for the economy and society. \nWith much emphasis on the need for an open and more competitive market\, matched with the democratic deficit faced by many of our public institutions\, the need for more accountable and diverse business models is ever more pressing. The importance of widespread ownership and responsibility are central to achieving social prosperity and economic success\, but as we look forward to the Chancellor’s Budget\, and further reforms to public services\, will such models of ownership play a key part? \nA keynote speech was given by the Rt Hon Francis Maude MP\, Minister for the Cabinet Office\, followed by a panel discussion with speakers including: \n\nRt Hon Dame Tessa Jowell MP\, former Secretary of State for the Department of Culture\, Media and Sport\nGeorge Freeman MP\, Government Adviser on Life Sciences and Chairman of the All Party Group on Science and Technology in Agriculture\nAndrew Burnell\, Chief Executive\, City Health Care Partnership CIC\nMatt Cavanagh\, Head of Public Affairs\, John Lewis Partnership\n\nContributors to the essay collection include Professor Julian Le Grand\, Chair\, Cabinet Office Mutuals Taskforce; Graeme Nuttall\, Government Adviser\, HM Treasury Employee Ownership Advisory Group; Patrick Roach\, Deputy Director General\, NASUWT; Charlie Mayfield\, Chairman\, John Lewis Partnership; and span a number of sectors of society\, such as banking and finance\, education\, retail\, infrastructure and transport\, and media\, culture and sports.

SUMMARY:How Will Welfare Reform Affect Local Communities?
DESCRIPTION:ResPublica’s event ‘How Will Welfare Reform Affect Local Communities?’ will take the form of a 90 minute panel discussion with Q&A. It will explore the community implications of welfare reform and ask whether we need localism policies that take into account reciprocal welfare measures and local employment markets which include informal work and volunteering. \nThe ‘strivers and shirkers’ narrative underscores a widespread desire for a fairer economy which rewards hard work and participation in society\, yet all too unfortunately is a debate fuelled by individualism. Meanwhile the recent Public Accounts Select committee report and the Court of Appeal ruling on the work programme have exposed contradictions in public attitudes and expectations of employment\, welfare and work. \nThe event will ask whether a more community-based approach\, which takes into account the economic implications of localism\, would provide solutions that work for local communities and labour markets. \nThe discussion will provide an opportunity to discuss the findings of ResPublica’s latest report\, Responsible recovery: A social contract for local growth. This report is based on the premise that economic growth must be balanced with social prerogatives\, and that addressing growth and employment on a local level requires a deeper and more widespread application of localism. \nSpeakers include:\n\nStephen Timms MP\, Shadow Minister for Work and Pensions\nKate Green MP\, Shadow Minister for Equalities\nJess Steele\, Director of Strategy\, Locality\nShiv Malik\, Correspondent\, The Guardian\nJulian Dobson\, author of ResPublica report Responsible Recovery: A social contract for local growth\nMatthew Gardiner\, Chief Executive\, Trafford Housing Trust\n\nKindly supported by: Trafford Housing Trust\, Rochdale Boroughwide Housing\, Cross Keys Homes\, and Placeshapers.
