Harrogate

The Hospital Caterers Association Annual Conference in Harrogate will this year be addressed by keynote speaker, Alan Langlands, Chief Executive of the NHS.

Menus past and present will mark the 50th anniversary of the NHS in a special competition organised by the Hospital Caterers' Association. Entrants were asked to submit a day's authentic menu suitable for patients in 1948, and a corresponding menu for today's patients, 50 years later. The winning entry - to be launched on July 6 - will be produced as a menu pack to be used for theme days during the week of the anniversary.
