SUMMARY:APSO Conference 2026 (in collaboration with AHASA and TESD)
DESCRIPTION:AHASA invites healthcare staffing and recruitment professionals to attend the APSO Conference 2026\, a sector-focused event bringing together industry stakeholders to engage on practical operational\, compliance and workforce challenges within the staffing environment. \nEvent details: \nDate: 23 June 2026 \nVenue: NH Hotel\, 138 Rivonia Road\, Sandton \nTime: 09:00 – 16:00 \n  \nThis year’s programme has been shaped by member and industry feedback\, with a strong focus on real-world application and sector-specific discussion. Delegates will be able to tailor their experience by selecting 3 of 12 interactive breakaway sessions aligned to their business priorities. \nA key focus for the healthcare sector will be the dedicated AHASA breakaway session: \n“Building a Healthcare Business That Lasts – Standards\, Risk and Accountability in South African Healthcare Recruitment” Presented by Penny Streeter OBE \nHealthcare recruitment is not simply a staffing business — it is a risk management business. Every nurse placed in a clinical environment represents a decision with real consequences for patients\, facilities and the agencies involved. \nIn this session\, Penny Streeter OBE draws on thirty years of building and running healthcare staffing operations across South Africa and the United Kingdom to examine what actually goes wrong in healthcare placements\, why the sector continues to underinvest in compliance\, and how the agencies that will still be operating in a decade are building their businesses differently. \nFrank\, practical and grounded in lived experience\, this session is for any agency owner or manager who wants to understand what sustainable looks like  and what it costs to get there. \nSpeaker Bio \nPenny Streeter OBE is the Founder and CEO of A24 Group\, an international business spanning healthcare staffing across South Africa\, the United Kingdom\, Australia and the United States\, alongside luxury hospitality and wine estates in the Western Cape and West Sussex. \nPenny founded A24 Group over 30 years ago and has built it into one of the most respected healthcare staffing organisations operating across multiple regulatory environments. She has navigated NHS frameworks\, TES legislation and international compliance requirements across jurisdictions simultaneously — and remains hands-on in the leadership of her UK\, South African and international businesses. \nShe was awarded an OBE for services to business and is one of the few voices in this sector who speaks from decades of operational reality rather than theory. \nHere is link to Penny’s page: https://www.pennystreeter.net/my-story \n  \nWho should attend the healthcare breakaway session? \nHealthcare recruitment agency owners\, staffing business leaders\, compliance managers\, HR professionals and operational teams working within healthcare placement and temporary employment services. \nAHASA members have access to member rates. Early bird pricing ends on 31 May 2026. \nFor bookings and further information\, please visit the APSO website. \nhttps://apso.org.za/shop/?page_id=2126
