The Future of Health and Care: Workforce, Sustainability and Access to Care

31st August 2024

16:30 – 17:30

Edinburgh International Conference Centre

Scotland’s health and care system is struggling to meet the growing demand for its services, with waiting times at record levels, high staff vacancy rates and low workforce morale.

 In response to these pressures, Neil Gray MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care has called for a national conversation on the future of the NHS in Scotland, underpinned by the premise that services should be free at the point of delivery.

With this in mind, our panel will focus on how potential reform could help address ongoing workforce challenges, create a more sustainable system and ensure care is delivered at the right time, in the right place.

Sed haec quis possit intrepidus aestimare tellus. Tityre, tu patulae recubans sub tegmine fagi dolor. Me non paenitet nullum festiviorem excogitasse ad hoc. Quo usque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra? Ambitioni dedisse scripsisse iudicaretur.
A communi observantia non est recedendum. Phasellus laoreet lorem vel dolor tempus vehicula. Unam incolunt Belgae, aliam Aquitani, tertiam. Quam diu etiam furor iste tuus nos eludet? Morbi odio eros, volutpat ut pharetra vitae, lobortis sed nibh. Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres, quarum.
