“This was our first HCA L&D Forum, pre forum the organization and communication was excellent with all questions and queries answered in a timely manner. The forum was well attended with some excellent and passionate speakers. The presentation by Nadim Ednan-Laperouse OBE & Tanya Ednan-Laperouse OBE, is hard to forget and made those present take a hard look at their operations. It was great to meet and educate the caterers present on the innovative solution we have to help the caterers meet the requirements of the independent review of hospital food. We are looking forward to the 2023 Forum and look forward to seeing you all there!” |
