Event / HFMA South West Branch: Annual conference 2023

Overview

This two-day conference will bring together colleagues throughout the region to network, reflect, and learn, as we continue to navigate the ever-changing NHS environment. It is an opportunity to celebrate our successes and discuss our challenges.  We will have regional updates from Jeff Buggle and a national review from Simon Currie.  Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from forward-thinking motivational speakers Andy Grant and Donna Fraser OBE.

Motivational speakers

Donna Fraser OBE is an Olympian who has transferred her skills from the track to the boardroom as a leader in equality, diversity and inclusion. Donna is a 4 time Olympian and former 400m sprinter for Great Britain. She is also Head of Inclusion & Engagement for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.

Andy Grant has been through a lot, from losing his mother aged 12 to joining the Royal Marines, to active service in Iraq and Afghanistan, to being injured by an IED, Medically Discharged, and facing life as an amputee. Coming into these difficult situations has never stopped Andy, and only made him stronger.
