The event took place at Scarborough Spa was opened by the VC Professor Susan Lea and included an after lunch speech by Lord John Prescott.  The presentation from the FHS team was focused on ‘Supporting the Health and Wellbeing of Your Workforce”. Fay provided an overview of FHS business and enterprise initiatives and this was followed by Jane presenting on ‘Supporting an ageing workforce in SMEs’ and then Fiona on ‘Exploring areas of high risk to employee health and wellbeing’.
