As part of the programme of activities to mark Turning Point’s 60th year, we are hosting a series of webinars looking at some of the major challenges facing the health and social care sector as we approach the end of the first quarter of the 21st century.
The series will feature leading thinkers including Professor Sir Michael Marmot, former Labour Health Secretary Rt Hon Patricia Hewitt and broadcaster and academic Tom Shakespeare.
The series will examine some of the key challenges across the sectors in which Turning Point operates with an opportunity to hear from people with lived experience of the issue under discussion as well as what Turning Point is doing.
The webinars are free to attend and open to all. To register for your free place, click on the links below.
