On the 26th of October MediWales is holding the second event for our LifeScience Academy.

This event will focus on the following key areas;

• The skills agenda
• Student placements
• Recruitment
• Training

We will bring together key stakeholders in theses areas including industry, universities and Welsh government.

Following on from a successful Special Interest Group, we want delegates to continue this conversation, talk about what developments are needed in these key areas and discuss how the MediWales network can help this.
