Stronger Together
Advocating for ourselves and others
LNNM Conference 2024
,
On Friday 21st June, around 170 inclusion health nurses, midwives, other homelenessness and health professionals and people with lived experience gathered together at a venue in North London for LNNM’s 8th Annual conference.
This year’s theme ‘Stronger together: advocating for ourselves and others’ considered the effects on our wellbeing when we work in situations where the system is failing, and what we can do to support each other.
With a fantastic variety of speakers and workshop facilitators, we profiled the work of system advocates in our sector and discussed how we can all work together to make positive changes for both others and ourselves. Participants also watched and reflected on Tina, a film that profiles the impact of our work on practitioners.
Overall, it was a stimulating and enjoyable day with delegates going away feeling more energised and inspired. The day ended with our ever popular LNNM awards and Poster Competition designed to uplift people and celebrate our work. See all posters and winning entry here.
