Welcome

Following on from our first two episodes in this series, we return to the topic with ‘Spotlight on Long Covid, part 3’. This extended webinar programme will present the most up-to-date knowledge of the condition, highlight findings from ongoing research and share key insights from clinicians, researchers and patients.

The evening will include discussions about body image in general as well as the evidence base for treating BDD, the effectiveness of interventions and the comorbidity with other mental health conditions. Professor David will be in conversation with his long-time collaborator and colleague, Professor Kevin Gournay, both of whom were beneficiaries of clinical and training experiences with Professor Isaac Marks at the Maudsley Hospital and Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, Kings College, London.

Stay at the forefront of cardiovascular medicine with our two-day seminar in partnership with Cleveland Clinic and its Heart, Vascular and Thoracic Institute. Join experts from the UK and the USA as they comprehensively review recent changes in the field, offering critical updates and recommendations. Guests will have access to a complimentary drinks reception with canapés to network with fellow attendees and well-renowned speakers from the event.

The NHS has a serious workforce crisis, 10% vacancy rates are common across the country and across professional groups, often higher. This was true before Covid. Post-covid, record levels of burnout and high numbers exiting the NHS are reported. At the same time the nature of healthcare work is changing. The impact of technology, AI, demographics, public expectations, amongst others, means our workforce needs to change too.

In partnership with the AHSN Network, this conference will provide a forum for discussion of the current crisis facing the NHS and the opportunities for change. Come and join us to hear from thought leaders and contribute to the discussion about what we want the future for NHS staff to be like.
