Conference Venue
The venue for Occupational Health 2023 will be:
The Frederick Douglass Centre
2 Science Square
Newcastle Helix
Newcastle upon Tyne
NE4 5TG
The Frederick Douglass Centre is part of Newcastle University and was opened in November 2019. It is a state-of-the-art £34M facility, specifically designed to shape the future for learning - weaving together social spaces and lecture theatres.
The Frederick Douglass Centre features modern and well equipped auditoria and a range of light seminar rooms over several floors. The airy atrium space on the Ground Floor includes displays based upon quotes from the life of Frederick Douglass, the 19th Century social reformer. The atrium will house our Exhibition, catering and Registration Desk.
The Centre is within Newcastle Helix which is a landmark 24-acre hybrid city quarter in the centre of Newcastle, built for international tech and science businesses, the local community, students and residents.
This impressive and cutting-edge backdrop ties in neatly with this year’s Occupational Health Conference title: “Quality and Innovation”.
COVID protocols will be in place accordingly.
