WPRF2020 is a place for you, the people of our profession, to step forward and hold hard conversations about connecting with courage through the four lenses of conscience, creativity, culture and capability. 

The Forum will challenge you to both think ahead as well as reflect back on your practice.

Alongside listening to inspiring speakers, there will be opportunities to discuss, deliberate, network and enjoy social events. The Forum consists of three programmes below.
