NHS staff, for lectures, open floor discussions, and networking in order to
improve patient care . Aims
What's an un-conference? An unconference is a participant driven meeting that draws on the expertise, knowledge, and ideas of those attending. The agenda is set by the participants in response to an overarching ‘burning question’. Agenda items become multiple, parallel, mini-discussion forums led by the participants themselves. Rather than the passive, unidirectional flow of a conventional conference, an unconference emphasises self-organisation, interaction and peer to peer learning. This produces a platform for divergent thinking, networking, and engagement with the topic. |
