Back to Skills Development Zones

The Sustainability in Healthcare Zone focuses on how procurement can drive long-term value through modern, responsible and forward-looking approaches. Sessions will explore sustainability, social value, innovation and skills development, helping delegates understand how smarter buying decisions can support community wealth, environmental goals and a more resilient health system. This zone is designed to equip both buyers and suppliers with the knowledge and capability needed to support the future of healthcare in Scotland.
