Conference speakers
Underpinning the weekend is the theme of ‘sustainability’ and how we can support team members to help sustain this unique volunteer service — because if our people fall over, then this volunteer service falls over too.
So our speakers will focus on creating cohesive teams and keeping our team members safe. They’ll look at technical training and ‘human factors’, the value of record keeping and statistics, and the importance of civility. And they’ll discuss ways we can address the rising pressure on teams in some areas. And so much more. In four busy tracks: The Frontline; Building a Sustainable Future; Wellbeing and Human Factors; and Safety Management, Indoors and Out.
