LGTs Inspire Event 2025

Our 2025 AHPs Inspire event takes place on Tuesday 14 October this year to align with Allied Health Professions Day.

Lucy Carter, AHP Lead for LGT says:  “Last year was such a fantastic celebration of the dedication, collaboration and creativity of AHPs across LGT and we’re really looking forward to our 2025 event. There will be presentations and ‘lightning talks’ again from our colleagues and awards presented for the best projects – you will even be able help us judge out AHP Bake Off! We can’t wait to see you there!”

You can also watch the video we made at our 2024 event below.
