Are you looking for an opportunity to meet people motivated by their faith to care for others? Would you like to explore the unique contribution that faith makes to the health and social care sector? Are you interested in learning about the ethical challenges work in this sector may bring?
This is the second in a series of three events. This is the event held in Nottingham. (or online via Zoom)
