In a profession built on relationships, it’s easy to focus on the connections we create with clients—but what about the connections we build with each other? Accreditation unites us in a shared commitment to clinical excellence, but it is networking that enables us to thrive. Particularly in these more difficult times.

This keynote is an invitation to step beyond familiarity and into possibility. Through interactive exercises, personal reflection, and a striking visual demonstration, we will explore the true impact of professional connection—how it helps us navigate challenges, spark new ideas, and create opportunities we never imagined.

Join Aisha Gordon-Hiles Bsc, Msc, PGDIP MŠÊ˜·³ÇëŠ×ÓÍÆË] ACCRED as they guide you to reflect on the power of community, and experience first hand how networking can illuminate the path forward and so much more.

Networking can be a overwhelming experience for those new to it, done with some thought it can be an extremely effective tool to grow your contacts, meet likeminded people and contribute to a sales process. This session will aim to give the attendees tips and approaches to effective and enjoyable networking.

The session will look at

• why should you network, how does it fit in with a business strategy
• types of networking: open, speed and structured
• what is an elevator pitch / 60 seconds and why it’s important
• techniques to network effectively
• how to follow up from networking
