Event Aims
Shropshire Partner in Care held the first Celebration of Care event on Wednesday 19th September 2018 at the Park Inn Hotel, Telford.
The original aim of the event was to reinvigorate SPiC’s membership events combining the annual AGM/Seminar and Care Awards into one event to ensure we could invite and include as many of our members and their staff as possible. We wanted the event to celebrate the hard work of our members in the community and provide an opportunity to network and find out about good practice/ new developments in the sector.
The event included four distinct elements
Exhibition
Showcases (as below)
