Thursday 21st January, 09.30am - 4.00pm | Virtual Airmeet

Too often widening participation is treated as standalone inclusion initiative, but it’s a core part of good and fair employment practice and mission critical for building a stronger, fairer and more sustainable NHS workforce. Talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not.

This virtual conference will support employers to tackle barriers, understand what truly makes a difference and learn how NHS organisations can create fairer pathways for people to access, thrive and progress in NHS careers by making widening participation a strategic priority.

Learn from those NHS organisations leading the way to make a positive impact for their workforce.
Hear directly from colleagues whose journeys into and through the NHS have been shaped by lived experience, resilience and determination.
Understand how widening participation connects with key NHS priorities and can help organisations solve current and future workforce challenges.

Who can attend

This event is open to anyone working in or alongside the NHS who has an interest in, influence over, or responsibility for widening participation and workforce supply. It will be particularly relevant to colleagues working in workforce, recruitment, retention, education, organisational development, and equality, diversity and inclusion, but also those interested in creating more inclusive routes into NHS careers are welcome.

Please note that this event is intended for NHS staff and partners supporting NHS workforce priorities, rather than individuals seeking information about applying for NHS roles.
