Midlands Belt Operations Forum
Darren Sorrell, our Midlands Food Account Manager is pleased to announce this forum, being held in partnership with the Hospital Caterers Association.
Following on from the success our Midlands-based trusts have had with mini comp collaborations, foundations have been created to introduce a forum, which we are proud to be hosting 16 June, 9.30am – 2pm.
The idea behind this is to provide a platform for members of neighbouring trusts to get together to talk about all things ‘NHS’. We know you face multiple challenges in your roles daily and have limited opportunity to network. This forum has been designed to allow neighbouring trusts the ability to share ‘pinch points’ and ‘best practice,’ which will help support productive change within each hospital.
On the day we will be discussing areas such as Patient Catering difficulties, Out of Hours Meal Solutions and Gluten Free and Vegan insights.
We’re delighted to share the agenda for the day where we will be discussing:
- 9.30am – 10am Arrival
- 10am – 11am Patient pinch points
- 11am – 11.30am Out of hours meal solutions
- 11.30am – 12noon Sophie’s Legacy (guest speaker)
- 12noon – 1pm Lunch
- 1pm – 2pm Rational demo and moving mountains sampling
To further support these topics, we have invited specialist suppliers to the day to discuss opportunities and showcase products relating to these specific areas.
We will also have Charlotte Fairall from our charity partner Sophie’s Legacy as our guest speaker supporting the day. This will be a great opportunity to provide insight to those of you looking to align and find out more about Sophie’s wishes.
This will be the start of a brand-new events programme and the first of its kind in the UK. We can’t wait to see you there.
