We’ve hosted our first Joint Nursing, Midwives and Allied Health Professionals (AHP) conference, celebrating the expertise and collaborative work of these incredible professionals 👏

The event, which was attended by colleagues from Royal Surrey and Ashford & St. Peter's Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, included lively discussions and guidance on access to healthcare careers as well as information on operational management, research and professional development.

The conference was part of our Nursing, Midwifery and AHP Plan to establish shared priorities for the next five years. The objectives in the plan were developed from the voices of nursing, midwifery and AHP teams, with collective goals that will drive future success.

Thank you to everybody who attended the event 💙
