Hospital Caterers Association Leadership & Development Forum 2024 Forum in the Glen

Wednesday 17th & Thursday 18th April 2024, Macdonald Aviemore Resort, Cairngorms National Park

As Leadership & Development Forum Lead 2024 for the West of Scotland Branch, I would like to invite you to join us for the Forum in the Glen to present Food Still Matters, and this will be a destination event, at the Macdonald Resort, Aviemore on 16th - 18th April.

Aviemore is a beautiful location and enables us to showcase the Highlands of Scotland in their glory and deliver a Leadership and Development Forum among stunning views. It is easy to get to and well worth the travel, with Railway Station 2 mins away, along with Inverness airport 45 mins away.

The Forum Management Team (FMT) are busy pulling together a programme of events; where our aim is to deliver an interactive, solution focussed quality event, to be challenging and thought provoking for delegates. This is a superb way of introducing those new to the NHS as well as those that have developed into leadership roles within healthcare. It is key to strengthen our association with members that play a full part in shaping the future of our services.

Each Branch has been given a challenges, and were presented with a McCoo to foster, give it a name, and take on your travels over the next months and a link is being set up to send photos in, and then the McCoo family can be reunited at Forum in the Glen.

An overview of timings for your diary:
