WEBINAR: SHAPING THE CARE WORKFORCE OF 2030

ZOOM WEBINAR

26 SEPTEMBER

12:00 PM

AI and digital innovation are already reshaping healthcare. The role of professionals is changing: less administration time, more time for patients, and smarter ways of working. But real change depends on people — on leaders who dare to rethink how care is organised and delivered.

On 26 September, join speakers from Sensire, eMaat, GGZ Rivierduinen, the Life Sciences sector, and the Salvation Army as they share how they are cutting admin, empowering teams, and preparing the workforce for 2030 and beyond.

Add your voice to the conversation. Register today and play your part in shaping the future of care.
