Programme
Programme outline
Conference 2012 will challenge us all to work together and inspire us to return to our workplaces to help create a better healthcare system that is modern, dynamic and fully equipped to react to a changing environment. The Programme content will focus on three broad areas:
- Feeding Innovation: we will look at the exciting developments taking place around food research.
- Feeding Inspiration: we will focus on catering at the Olympics and the requirement for healthy and sustainable food choices not only for the athletes but for all during the event
- Feeding Recovery: we will address issues concerning patient food services, food allergies and eating disorders, and examine the latest trends.
- Innovative Workshop Sessions will encourage lively discussion and debate and provide every Delegate with an opportunity to contribute and to have their say about how we can all work together to Feed the Future.
- The HCA Conference 2012 Poster Challenge
And don’t forget, the HCA Conference is IHM Accredited and contributes towards Continuing Professional Development – another reason why you should attend.
