Description

The new ITF heralds a major shift in national policy which aims to link up help for vulnerable householders from both adult social care and health bodies by pooling £3.8b of public funding! (read the briefing from DH for more information).

These seminars will explore how HIA services can best input to and benefit from the new ITF (which now includes funding for DFGs and other preventative measures).

The regional seminars will be held from 10am to 3pm on the following dates:

  • Leeds - 5th December
  • Birmingham - 10th December
  • London - 11th December
