Life's biggest challenges can strike from any direction - but when crisis hits, how do leaders and businesses respond? More importantly, how do they recover?

In this sesssion, we interview Andy Coulson, former Editor of the News of the World, Downing Street Director of Communications to David Cameron, and, in his own words, a former inmate of HMP Belmarsh. Now the founder of Coulson Partners, Andy advises CEOs, founders, and leaders on corporate strategy, reputation management, and crisis communications.

He is also the creator of the acclaimed podcast 'Crisis What Crisis?', where over 100 interviews have uncovered extraordinary lessons from individuals who have faced reputational, financial, and personal crises.

Andy will address one of the most challenging scenarios in healthcare - when a hospital or care home is exposed in the press. What happends in the first 24 hours?
