HCA Forum

The HCA Forum offered a programme that was relevant, challenging and thought provoking for delegates. It was a superb way of introducing those new to the NHS as well as those that have developed into leadership roles within healthcare.

Alongside the programme of events, delegates also had the chance to visit a wealth of trade stands, which provided an opportunity for suppliers and catering managers to meet.

NHS Supply Chain: Food together with NHS Supply Chain: Hotel Services exhibited at the conference.

Panel members provided an insight on the importance of both staff and patient nutrition and the key role of eating for good health in maintaining staff morale and wellbeing.

• Elise Kelly, Catering Dietitian ISS/BDA Digest
• Duncan O’Neill, Support Services Manager Catering, Stockport NHS Foundation Trust
