Democracy and human rights are today challenged both from political and social transformations, and from scholars whose intention it is to transcend the limitations of the liberal democratic canon. Questions of human emancipation and the role of social movements are also being raised in relation to globalization. When North meets the South, there are new dynamic perspectives coming into focus in both research and public debate. There is also a need to inculcate values norms necessary for sustaining a culture of peace.

WHAN - the Working in Health Access Network - followed on from its pilot in 2006 to develop collaborative awareness raising work - focussed on careers and study in healthcare and the health sciences - in four devolved areas across Scotland.  The partners were 12 Universities, 13 colleges and careers, certification and widening access agencies.  Almost one hundred schools are involved with WHAN and its evaluation materials have been distributed to over 15,000 pupils.

The keynote addresses at the WHAN conference will focus on the future we expect to see in building capacity, skills and evidence-led expertise in healthcare staffing.  The challenge to the Conference is to discuss and debate how the lessons from WHAN can assist in attaining this future vision.  Participants will be involved in considering the quickening pace of change we can now see affecting healthcare services, the healthcare workforce and the education, training and development of these professionals.

Please see attachment for further information about the conference.
