Health and Social Care Forum

The Health and Social Care Forum was hosted by our partner HEIs in turn and met twice a year. The format was a key topic led by a speaker followed by round table discussion, finishing with buffet lunch and networking. Representatives from FE, HE, sector skills councils and employers drawn from health and social care across the region attended to share current practice and future developments.
