Health & Wellbeing Conference 2010
Thursday, 14 October - London

After the success of last year's inaugural event, this one-day conference will bring together over 350 key public sector stakeholders, eminent speakers and expert suppliers to discuss the delivery of key health, work and wellbeing policies across the country.

Each year in Britain, the number of working days lost due to ill health costs the economy over £100bn. With over 34 million days lost due to work related illness in 2007/2008, the government commissioned a report to assess the health and wellbeing of the working-age population and make recommendations on how employers can better support those in ill health to recover and return to work earlier.
