Do you look after somebody with health needs, seen a health or social care practitioner, been to hospital, have an   illness or disability?  We are looking for people just like you to work with us. By attending this conference you can get involved with influencing learning and teaching, recruiting the right students,  assessing students and actively getting involved in research within a university setting.  You can do as little or as much as you want.

Join us for a free half day conference on 23rd November 2018 organised by the School of Health and Social Care in collaboration with Shaping Our Lives.
