The following is quite interesting, isn't it? In our new era of public
sector spending constraint, a private organization is charging (or
trying to charge) public sector workers several hundred pounds a day to
listen to predominantly public sector workers? 

Or am I still in bed, asleep?

Dear Adam Oliver,

According to a report released last week by Cambridge Econometrics, the
UK could miss its 2020 European renewable energy target of 15% and a
goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 34%.

Despite looking like it will meet its first two carbon budgets up to
2017, the UK may not meet it's third budget unless the new coalition
government starts implementing strong policies promoting renewable
energy and energy efficiency. 

This informative forum will offer delegates the opportunity to discuss
what actions can be taken to ensure how health professionals can help
save money and make the NHS more economically and environmentally
efficient.

Hear from experts in the health sector who are implementing efficiency
strategies in the NHS. There will be opportunities to ask these leading
experts questions and to network with your fellow peers. 

This forum is aimed at a wide variety of professionals who are concerned
with savings within the health sector.

Places are already limited so book now!
