Please note that for convenience a new page has been created on this blog to host all the information relating to the conference on 18th June, entitled “Addressing Health Inequalities in Learning Disability Week 2014” – see tab at the top of the page. You can find there all the presentations, plus evaluative material, some of which still exists in a raw form – but which we hope to summarise in a more digestible form shortly.
Many thanks again to all who participated – it was a memorable day!
Health Education Kent, Surrey and Sussex (HEKSS) are eager to meet people and organisations in Kent, Surrey and Sussex who employ registered learning disability nurses (RNLD).
An event is organised for 9th July for HESS to find out from providers of learning disability services what issues they have with the current workforce, which will help planning for the future.
For more details on attending the event click on the picture below to down load the flyer.
The ‘Addressing Health Inequalities’ event is now almost at full capacity!
We are pleased to share details of the speakers and are happy to announce that contrary to previous communications tea, coffee and lunch will be provided to all, thanks for Canterbury Christchurch University.
We understand that some people who have registered for the event with eventbrite have not received a confirmation email. Please check your spam/junk folder, as everyone registered should have been sent at least two emails.
We will be encouraging conversation about the event on twitter, and will be using #AHI14 hashtag. Please place this in all your facebook and Twitter messages.
