This conference examines the new care model set out in the NHS five year Forward View, in which the NHS works in partnership with care home providers and local authority social services departments to develop new shared models of care and support.

Showcasing successful models which have been shown to improve quality of life and reduce hospital bed use, conference sessions will explore how local areas are taking advantage of the opportunities created by the Better Care Fund and Forward View to design and implement shared models of reach support, including medical reviews; medication reviews; and rehabilitation services.
