Lunch

As at our last in-person Winter Conference in 2020, we were planning to hold an in-person lunch featuring food and catering that met our sustainability commitments. Unfortunately, in light of the critical incident declared by our local NHS Foundation Trust, we have taken the decision to cancel this element of the conference. The Teams meeting will instead remain open for anyone that wants to chat informally and socially after the formal programme.
