At Bild, we believe that PBS can only be truly person-centred if professionals, supported people, and their families, share the power to plan and deliver support together. The conference will be a fantastic chance for attendees to meet, share best practice, and debate new developments to ensure we can fully meet the needs of those we care for, leading to better outcomes for everyone.
