Free Event at Novotel Newcastle Airport Hotel
Thursday, 22nd May 2014 – 9.30am – 3.30pm
Increased pressure on finances in the care industry has resulted in organisations looking at reducing costs, yet providing the same and improved quality of service. As part of a series of events being held throughout the UK this year, we showcase ways in which organisations provide creative solutions to these overwhelming challenges.
