present a one-day conference on

MANAGING YOUR
CAR PARKING PROBLEMS

held on

FRIDAY, 19TH OCTOBER 2007
at
THE CONFERENCE CENTRE,
Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Trust, Wrightington Hospital,
Hall Lane, Appley Bridge, Near Wigan

So you’ve introduced car sharing, invested in new cycle parking and provided cycle loans and discounted bus travel but you’re still left with the same old car parking problems!

You are not alone - all hospitals face the same problems.  Not enough spaces to meet demand for patients or staff.  Pressure to build more car parking facilities and pressure not to.  We’re here to provide an essential service but can’t keep our customers satisfied.

This conference will look at the problems you face and real solutions.  What do our customers want and what can we do to keep everyone happy?  We will look at car parking options, how to successfully manage what you have and look at what works and what doesn’t.

Can you really afford to miss this conference? 

The cost of attending the conference is £100.00 per person. 
This includes attendance at the conference, course handouts, coffee/tea on arrival, mid morning coffee/tea and biscuits, 2-course buffet lunch and afternoon tea/coffee and biscuits
