2024 roundup of Excellence Network conferences and events

The first 6 months of 2024 has been a busy time across the Excellence Network. We’ve supported our Excellence Hubs and regional networks to deliver many in-person and virtual events and have attended several external conferences.

Read on for a round up and to hear what events are in store for the rest of this year.

What we’ve done and where we’ve been

From mental health to DBS to pharmacy to speech and language therapy, there’s been several Excellence Network Hub events taking place this year. In total, we brought around 260 professionals together, both in person and online.

Alongside this, we also spoke to many health and care professionals while exhibiting and speaking at several conferences across the country, including the RCN Congress and Clinical Pharmacy Congress early this summer.

What’s coming up for the rest of 2024?
