The purpose of the event is to give NHS Organisational Development Practitioners access to stimulating academic thinking, discussion and debate. There is a wealth of research and evidence that supports the practice of OD but there isn't always the time to engage with it in meaningful ways. The event will help recognise the range of academic thinking available and give opportunities to discuss how they can better embed evidence and theory into their work. This will be an energetic day which aims to stretch our brains, create space for conversation and challenge our thinking through provocative debate. More information here

Things to make
If you over indulged with pancakes recently (or was that just me?) what about this quick and simple lemon spaghetti with tuna & broccoli, Just 15 minutes is all you need to whip up this fresh, light and healthy fish pasta with olives, capers and greens and at less than £1.00 per serving it won't break the bank either!
