Scottish Care

Key issues for health and social care integration: commissioning, workforce and partnership development
2017-03-16 09:00 - 13:00 UTC | Central Edinburgh
Guest of Honour
Alison Taylor, Head of Integration Division, The Scottish Government
This seminar assesses the impact of the integration of health and social care on service delivery and considers the next steps for overcoming challenges arising from the integration process.
It takes place following publication of the Scottish Government’s Health and Social Care Delivery Plan, supported by £128 million in 2017/18, which outlines steps that will be taken in order to improve the system, particularly in relation to patient experience and population health – and coincides with the development of new National Health and Social Care Standards, with final standards due to be published in Spring 2017.
Delegates will discuss resource allocation across health and social care and funding within different partnership settings – looking at best practice examples from Scotland and abroad – and the impact of integration on the workforce, particularly with regard to interdisciplinary working, planning and extended staff roles and development.
Further planned sessions will examine what more can be done to engage patients, the independent sector and the third sector as well as priorities for digital and information technologies – with focus being placed on improving data sharing and information governance.

In addition, there will be a series of interactive workshops which will provide you with the information and tools you need to meet the requirements of the new model Complaints Handling Procedures and also help to understand your roles and responsibilities under the Duty of Candour which applies to all health and social care staff in Scotland.

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.
