Our 2024 Annual Event ‘Building Better Health and Care’ was held at The View Hotel, Eastbourne in July 2024.
This report provides a brief summary of the event, with a particular focus on the points raised during the table discussions and participant’s consideration of the theme ‘Building Better Health and Care’.
