Our ALLIANCE Annual Conference, titled 'Our Voice, Our Rights, Our Future', will be held on 1st May 2024 at the Radisson Blu Glasgow.
The ALLIANCE’s pioneering annual conference is an opportunity to engage in crucial debate on health and care in Scotland. ‘Our Voice, Our Rights, Our Future’, comes at a significant time of reflection and change, with the ongoing Scottish and UK COVID-19 inquiries, proposals for the National Care Service and the imminent Scottish Human Rights Bill.
This year’s event will spotlight people and organisations working on innovative, engaging and co-produced projects. Our relationships and strength as a sector have never been so important.
Our dynamic, ambitious and collaborative conference will bring together a wide range of people from across Scotland, and beyond. It’s an opportunity for people with lived experience, third sector and health and social care professionals to have meaningful, open and honest discussions. We want to take the challenges we face and turn them into the positive action we need for health and care that values everyone’s voices and addresses health inequalities both now and in the future.
Future change needs positive action to be taken now.
