Self-directed support systems - Mind the gap
2017-03-31 10:00 - 16:00
The Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) is to hold a free workshop to discuss a whole systems approach to self-directed support (SDS) implementation.
Can taking a whole systems approach work? What resources would the health and social care sector need to help to engage in whole systems thinking? You are invited to explore these questions.
In the continuing Adventures In Systems (AS IS) series of workshops the SSSC welcomes Julian Corner from the Lankelly Chase Foundation https://lankellychase.org.uk/person/julian-corner/
Julian will explain whole systems approaches and help to consider how this might work from an SDS perspective. The workshop will give participants the chance to think about what’s happening and working well now in their services and how thinking at a systems level can help to improve future collaboration. The workshop will also discuss what resources workers and organisations need to support systems thinking.
We will hear from our colleagues in the Living Well in Communities Team at Healthcare Improvement Scotland about how they are working to support system change in Scotland.
This event is for people working in any part of the health and social care system including: commissioners, finance staff, procurement staff, policy officers, risk compliance officers, legal officers, social workers and their managers, service providers, support organisations, people who use services and their families and friends.
The workshop is free although places are limited so please book early. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

Effective Leadership in Dementia Care
2017-04-04 09:30 - 2017-04-05 16:00
Strong clinical leadership is arguably the hardest of all roles to embed in an improvement culture. Yet leadership plays such an important role in the care of people with dementia.
Historically, emphasis has been placed on management style and strategies as opposed to leadership. But there is a difference. Often, health and social care systems are over-managed and under-led. Leaders need to have the capacity to influence others, to inspire and articulate their vision to move the workforce to the end goal.
Dr Kevin Hope, Honorary Professor at the University of Stirling and DSDC Associate, explores the importance of leadership in the workplace in this blog.
DSDC’s new programme, Effective Leadership for Dementia Care Services, addresses the important topic of leadership and dementia care. Aimed at Front-line Leaders and Operational Leaders, the two day course explores a range of relevant information aimed at assisting you to develop your leadership skills will help you identify what characterises good leadership and its associated traits and behaviours.
The course provides an important opportunity to network within and beyond dementia communities, including the potential to liaise with and gain support from other like-minded people who have undertaken this programme of development.
We look forward to welcoming you to be part of this exciting project in developing today’s leaders in the promotion of more effective dementia care services.
