We have compiled below an overview of the health and care workforce sessions, many of them organized or co-organized by our section, where we would love to meet you!
Also, we are looking forward to meeting you all during our section’s Joint the Network!
It will take place on Thursday, 14 November, from 10.30 to 11.30, in Room 3C.
Join us to find out more about the section activities, next year’s mid-term conference (can you guess where it will take place?), and other news, as well for an opportunity to connect with other like-minded colleagues interested in health and care workforce activities.
Apart from this, you will find below a series of relevant publications from the recent weeks / months.
