Embracing the Challenges – Changing Conditions at Cardiff City Hall, November 10-11th 2010

Interest in chronic conditions management has grown considerably in the last five years, but has care improved? Has a focus on prevention worked? What have we learnt so far?

This conference draws on the expertise of leading international experts to prevent illness, improve services and find sustainable and affordable solutions for the future.

A collaboration between the Welsh Assembly Government, Welsh NHS Confederation, National Leadership and Innovation Agency for Healthcare (NLIAH) and Public Health Wales, this conference demonstrates the unique integrated approach to health and social care in Wales.

UK Planning Aid Conference 2010 ‘Planning Aid – Engaging With Communities’

Debbie Connelly — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 10:40:30 +0000

This year’s National Planning Aid Conference is being held in Cardiff on Thursday 29^th April and the morning of Friday 30^th April 2010. It will bring together a range of people from all over the UK in a friendly, relaxed environment that will encourage them to exchange ideas, inspire, and learn from each other.

The conference is open not only to planning aid staff and volunteers, but also to representatives from community and voluntary groups, community and town councils and others who have been or are currently involved with the planning system. The idea is that planning aid really only makes sense when it is supporting people within the community to help them realise their visions and practical projects.

The conference, which will be chaired by Kelvin MacDonald of the University of Cambridge, is an invaluable opportunity for those involved in planning aid and community work throughout the UK to come together to be inspired and develop new ideas.

Programme details and a booking form are available to download from the Planning Aid website or by contacting Marika Fusser on 01286 882 834 or marika@planningaidwales.org.uk. Also contact Marika if you are interested in bringing an exhibition stand.
