Greater Manchester Advancing Practice System Wide Conference 2025
The GM Advancing Practice System Wide Conference held on 7th November at MMU Business School was an absolutely fantastic opportunity for delegates to network, share their experiences and learn from each other.
A packed agenda, full of inspiring speakers who shared key information about the transformative value and impact of diverse AP roles across the Health and Care system, gave an excellent platform to raise the profile of AP, and provided delegates with motivation, energy and some key take home messages.
