It’s been a year since Appreciating Health and Care launched. A packed year. Here’s what we’ve been up to.
The launch – 30 April 2024
We kicked things off with a national event. People showed up – in person and online – from all corners of the UK. It was buzzing with energy and full of good questions. There was real interest – you can catch up here.
