Overview
Why this matters
Formally known as NHS Providers' HR Directors Network, this event will continue to bring workforce leaders together to discuss the important work you do.
A space to explore good practice and discuss shared challenges, this forum aims to inspire you to shape strategic narratives that strengthen and positively impact outcomes for your communities.
Operating under Chatham House Rule, this forum is your opportunity to:
- Share ideas and exchange learning.
- Gain insights from government and national body leaders on key issues impacting your organisation and role.
- Hear case studies on the latest innovative work in the sector.
- Engage in interactive sessions to ask questions and share your thoughts.
- Have open and honest discussions with peers in breakout sessions.
Lots of helpful information, there was a lot to take from this.
