‘Working On the Wards’
On Friday 7th November 2025, Manchester Hospital School hosted the NAHE conference, ‘Working on the Wards’. Hospital School colleagues from across the country came together for a day of collaboration, sharing best practice and learning. We were joined by our NHS colleagues from the Manchester Foundation Trust who shared their work and how our strong partnership working benefits the young people we teach.
