The Bevan Commission are excited to announce that the Innovation Intensive Learning Week is back – and this time in person!
5-9 December 2022
Swansea
In partnership with the All-Wales Intensive Learning Academy for Innovation in Health and Social Care, this year’s event will build on the success of last year’s online event, but will be held in person at the Taliesin in Swansea University, from the 5th- 9th December with an evening meal on the 7th December at the historic Brangwyn Hall.
Taking time out to step back and think, share innovative practices and receive support from peers and experts to address your own personal challenge is extremely important in order to ensure our health and care services are fit for the future. This week offers you that opportunity to challenge, change and champion new ways of working and add to both your career progression and personal development.
This is a unique opportunity for you to:
- Meet and learn from international experts in health and care

- Step back from day-to-day work and receive support to develop solutions to your own workplace challenges
