The IOSH Lounge
Branch drop-in sessions, 12:00 - 14:00 BST
Join our local branch volunteers for a chat over refreshments each lunchtime. They’re keen to chat to members and hear your feedback and ideas. It's also a great place to stop by if you're a volunteer and want to network with your peers. The IOSH Lounge is situated next to the IOSH Keynote Theatre and stand.
