Oldham Human Factor Event

Making Connections. Building Relationships.

Time: 9am – 3pm
Venue: Billingtons, 3 Ashcroft Street, Oldham, OL1 1HY

🌟 About the Event

We all play a role in supporting people’s mental health. But it’s not just what we do—it’s how we work together that makes the difference. So, we are bringing together colleagues from across Oldham's Mental Health System- spanning all ages, services and sectors – for a dedicated Human Factor Event.

This event creates space to build meaningful relationships, deepen understanding, and strengthen collaboration. By strengthening our working relationships across the NHS, local authority, and VCFSE sectors, we can directly improve the integrated care provided to our Oldham communities. Moving away from traditional slide presentations, this cross-sector event focuses on creative, engaging activities to help us build meaningful human connections.

🏛️ The Marketplace Space

We are hosting a dedicated Market Place Space in the morning and during an extended lunch break. This is a brilliant opportunity for NHS, Local Authority and VCFSE (Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise) organisations to promote their services and offers.
