The Future of Health and Care: Workforce, sustainability and access to care
31st August 2024

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.

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.
