Webinar: How can we create real, lasting change after COVID-19?
How can the Yorkshire and Humber region understand and adapt the best COVID-19-related innovations into everyday working practice?
“Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different. It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next. …we can walk through lightly, with little luggage, ready to imagine another world.”
– Arundhati Roy, Indian Author, The Pandemic is a Portal
As the long-term impact and implications of COVID-19 come starkly into focus for both our regional health and care systems and our local economy, we are all starting to think about how we (both as individuals and organisations) need to adjust to our new reality. Already a great deal of discussion is taking place to consider how the healthcare system needs to reset itself and learn from both the positive and negative aspects of the crisis. This webinar will begin to explore these opportunities from a Yorkshire and Humber perspective. Please do join us if you would like to contribute to the discussion.
