National Nuclear Laboratory

NAW 2023

As the UK’s national laboratory for nuclear fission, NNL is harnessing nuclear science to help solve some of the world’s biggest challenges. We channel our work into four strategic areas: Clean Energy, Health and Nuclear Medicine, Environmental Restoration and Security and Non-Proliferation. These four Focus Areas are the cornerstones of our ambition, shaping what we deliver to our customers and for UK society, and how we invest in our future.

At a time when society is waking up to acting on the environmental crisis our planet faces, it is
impossible to overestimate the scale of the challenge ahead for the UK in reaching net zero by 2050. Without nuclear, the UK will not meet this target on time. And without NNL’s work, the UK nuclear sector cannot deliver what is required. We are custodians of a unique set of facilities and capabilities that enable ground-breaking nuclear research and development – including four world-leading laboratories in the North West of
England. The most important asset for our future success, however, is our people. We are
fortunate to be gifted with some of the most creative and inspired scientific minds in our sector,
in the world.

Everyone in our workforce is here to deliver environmentally and financially sustainable solutions to the major challenges of the 21st century, with the support of our customers and partners in government, academia and the supply chain.

Halfords

NAW 2023

HALFORDS IS THE UK’S LEADING RETAILER OF MOTORING, CYCLING AND LEISURE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

Our unique mix of stores, garages, mobile vans and home delivery means we can offer customers
unparalleled convenience in the motoring and cycling markets.

We know that our customers want us to be there for them, when they need us. That means our stores and
garages are open early and late, we offer a proposition which is mobile and comes to them wherever they
are and we offer convenient delivery options to meet their needs.

This year we made strong progress in further enhancing the journey our customers go on with us and now
offer an even more convenient proposition with more garages – giving customers less distance to drive to
drop their vehicle off – and significantly more mobile vans (both customer and commercial), meaning that
more customers than ever can access our services without disrupting their busy lifestyle.

We’ve created a culture of engagement where the customer is at the heart of everything we do, where
people work together to be better every day, where energy and enthusiasm drives career development,
and where you’ll be inspired to embrace challenge as opportunity.

Kent and Medway Integrated Care System

NAW 2023

The Kent and Medway Integrated Care System is a partnership of organisations that
come together to plan and deliver joined up health and care services to improve the lives
of people across Kent and Medway.

We have four key purposes:
 improving outcomes in population health and healthcare;
 tackling inequalities in outcomes, experience and access;
 enhancing productivity and value for money;
 supporting broader social and economic development.

Who is included?

Primary Care
• Primary care services provide the first point of contact in the healthcare system,
acting as the ‘front door’ of the NHS. Primary care includes general practice,
community pharmacy, dental, and optometry (eye health) services.
• Primary care networks include groups of general practices working together, and
in partnership with community, mental health, social care, pharmacy, hospital and
voluntary services in their local area, to offer more personalised, coordinated
health and social care to the people living in their area.
• There are around  40 PCNs in Kent and Medway. Networks are aligned to
a health and care partnership – this supports them to work more closely with
other partners in the area.

Secondary Care

Secondary care includes:
• planned or elective care – usually in a hospital
• urgent and emergency care, including 999 and 111 services, ambulance
services, hospital emergency departments, and out-of-hours GP services
• mental health care
Community Health
Community Health Services Include:

Social Care

Social Care is an important element of the Health and Care Pathway. In Kent and
Medway, Social Care is managed through the two councils, Kent County Council and
Medway Council.
What is the difference between healthcare and social care?
A healthcare need is related to the treatment, control or prevention of a disease, illness,
injury or disability, and the care or aftercare of a person with these needs.
A social care need is focused on providing assistance with:

• the activities of daily living
• maintaining independence
• social interaction
• enabling the individual to play a fuller part in society
• protecting them in vulnerable situations
• helping them to manage complex relationships

and (in some circumstances) accessing a care home or other supported accommodation
