Programme
You will hear from:
- Margi Shand (Housing21)
Who will tell you how important it is to be involved in residents engagement - you should do it because it's right but also because you need to demonstrate it. - Karen Culshaw, Regulatory Policy Manager, Care Quality Commission
Find out how CQC engage with people with specialist needs or use specialist services, see what's coming up that's new in regulation and what about the role of professional advisors and experts by experience? What can you get out of being involved? - Clive Noak, Business Development Manager, Telecare Services Association. "1.7m to 3m - what's with the numbers?" If you are not using Telecare now you almost certainly will need to soon. The evidence says it works - the Government says they want it. Disagree? Come along and find out what you are disagreeing with.
Afternoon Workshops - you can choose between:
- Residential: John Wood NAB 'Current trends in specialist residential care'
- Housing support: Mandy Reed (Thomas Pocklington Trust) & Redd Gogna (Action for Blind People) 'Measuring outcomes of housing and support services.' Government spending cuts and fierce competition for funding have increased pressure on organisations to demonstrate their impact to commissioners. Find out about the work done by Thomas Pocklington Trust and Action for Blind People to ensure they are prepared for this challenge.
