Innovation Week 2023 kicked off on Monday 17 July, with the spotlight on our staff. 

There were opportunities to attend face to face sessions to support and connect with colleagues or to engage virtually throughout the day.

Our staff come to work every day to make a difference in the lives of others, that's why our focus on staff health and wellbeing is so important.
