NW Market Shapers update: #socialcarefutures and New Homecare Innovation network
Two updates to share with you:
- Following #socialcarefutures last year the discussions continued and the network just shared an interesting document from Professor Bob Hudson. The Executive Summary is a short, accessible summary of the reform opportunities and challenges we’ll no doubt all be aware of https://socialcarefuture.files.wordpress.com/2019/02/from-questions-to-answers-and-exec-summary.pdf and the website at: https://socialcarefuture.blog/2019/02/07/from-questions-to-answers/ Martin Routledge and #socialcarefutures would I’m sure be keen to get feedback on this or for you to participate in the discussion on twitter.
- DHSC are funding an innovation network looking at homecare, featuring SCIE, TLAP and Shared Lives Plus: https://www.scie.org.uk/transforming-care/innovation/network. The starting point for the network is last years’ report: ‘growing innovative models of health, care and support for adults’link 1 which discusses scaling up small-scale, community-focused successes so that as many people benefit from them as possible. We’re looking to get involved to help include NW innovation and to share the learning.
