Emergency services mental health symposium
Event date
23 Nov 2022
THIS EVENT IS NOW FULLY BOOKED
Registration is now open for the Emergency Services Mental Health Symposium on the 23rd and 24th of November at Silverstone Race Circuit.
As a follow up to the Symposium held in London last November by The Royal Foundation, this ‘one year on’ event is being hosted by an amazing collaboration of emergency service and first responder organisations, together with the charities that support them.
This year’s event, sponsored by Class Professional Publishing and Priority Dispatch, will be a unique opportunity to hear from practitioners, senior leaders, frontline staff and subject matter experts from a wide range of 999 services and organisations from all around the UK.
It will bring people together to learn from each other, showcase the progress that has been made since the inaugural event last year, and maximise the impact we can have on improving wellbeing within our own organisations.
The full agenda will be published closer to the date of the Symposium but will include a lived experience panel with members of three emergency services. There will be sessions on getting active, family support, managing fatigue and supporting new recruits and a Wellbeing Hub space for delegates. The Symposium is also hosting the Emergency Responders’ Seniors Leaders Board meeting, an update and next steps session will be delivered to the Symposium delegates by Martin Hewitt, Assistant Commissioner, Chair of the National Police Chiefs Council.
