Care Home Conference 2022 – 1 week to go!
Care Home Conference and Exhibition 2022
‘More than four walls’
Friday 18 November 2022
Hilton, Glasgow
Our 2022 National Care Home Conference, Exhibition and Awards will be taking place next week on Friday 18 November 2022 at the Hilton Hotel in Glasgow.
This event is titled ‘More than four walls’ and is the 23rd consecutive year of the Care Home Conference. During Care Home Day 2022, Scottish Care posed the question – what do you wish people knew about care homes? The response was clear: that they are more than four walls. This conference aims to change the misunderstandings and misrepresentations in the care home sector and to make real and meaningful change.
The Conference will feature a range of key speakers including:Â
- Humza Yousaf –Â Â Cabinet Secretary for Health & Social Care, Scottish Government
- Dame Sue Bruce – Chair, Independent Review of Inspection, Scrutiny & Regulation
- Jackie Irvine, CEO, Care Inspectorate
We will also hear from the care home perspectives in a number of talks or panels on the themes of the National Care Service, sustainability, and care homes being ‘more than four walls’.
Delegates will be able to choose from a number of creative, practice-based insight sessions and access a diverse exhibition showcasing products and services tailored to a care-home audience.
Ticket rates for Scottish Care members are £70+VAT, for non-members, it is £130+VAT.
Don’t miss your opportunity to be part of the only conference in Scotland which focuses specifically on care home provision and book your places now.
