SNP Party Conference 2024 will take place at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre from 30 August – 1 September 2024. Holyrood hosted seven fringe events at the SNP Annual National Conference 2023, including our annual Health & Care Hub and Editor’s Club: In Conversation events.
With the SNP’s ambitions to strengthen regulation, protect consumers, drive innovation and speed up behaviour change, the discussion about how to restore confidence and fairness in key regulated sectors (from energy to communications) is critical.
Join Trust Alliance Group, Holyrood and our panel (government, industry and civil society) to explore how we can put consumers at the heart of this journey and deliver the necessary confidence in products and services.
A homegrown energy transition has the potential to deliver much needed economic growth, support jobs and reduce our reliance on imports and, with the right support, UK offshore energy companies could invest £200 billion in it.
With time running out to meet Scotland’s net zero target by 2045, this session will explore how Scotland can: unleash its potential as a leader in a homegrown just transition; create an attractive investment environment which facilitates economic growth; and prepare the existing workforce for changes in the energy sector.
Scotland’s health and care system is struggling to meet the growing demand for its services, with waiting times at record levels, high staff vacancy rates and low workforce morale.
In response to these pressures, Neil Gray MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care has called for a national conversation on the future of the NHS in Scotland, underpinned by the premise that services should be free at the point of delivery.
With this in mind, our panel will focus on how potential reform could help address ongoing workforce challenges, create a more sustainable system and ensure care is delivered at the right time, in the right place.
