After organising the biggest-ever demonstration in defence of the NHS in London on March 4 in collaboration with Peoples Assembly and with backing from a dozen unions, Health Campaigns Together is calling for the biggest-ever conference on NHS campaigning. It is to be in Hammersmith Town Hall, on Saturday November 4.

There will be speakers from national unions, local campaigns and local government -- but the majority of the time will be discussion, collaboration and learning the vital lessons on building powerful broad campaigns that can force a halt to cash-driven cuts, an end to the 7-year spending freeze, a lifting of the cap on NHS pay and the scrapping of the costly and wasteful competitive market system that has fragmented and dislocated our NHS.

The conference fee is to cover costs of lunch for all pre-booked delegates and raise a subsidy for long-distance travel by public transport.
