The focus of the events is to provide staff with the skills, knowledge and confidence to implement the new model Complaints Handling Procedures for the NHS and Social Work which will be introduced in April 2017, as well as understand the social care complaints process. The events will also enable staff to prepare themselves and their teams for the introduction of the new Duty of Candour, which will come into force on 1 April 2018.
These free events will run from 9.30am – 4.30pm and will be held in:

Golden Jubilee Conference Hotel, Clydebank 2 March 2017
Perth Concert Hall, 9 March 2017
Edinburgh International Conference Centre, 16 March 2017
Stirling Court Hotel, 23 March 2017

The events will provide the opportunity to learn from the experiences of colleagues across health and social care. There will be a range of presentations, including a keynote address from the Scottish Government and also a conversation with a carer around their experience. 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.

Key issues for health and social care integration: commissioning, workforce and partnership development
2017-03-16 09:00 - 13:00 | 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.

“TimeSlips” creative storytelling training for artists and care professionals working with older people living with dementia
2017-03-14 11:00 - 15:30
A creative storytelling training day led by internationally renowned artist and educator Anne Basting, Professor of Theatre at the University of Wisconsin / Milwaukee and a 2016 MacArthur Fellow.
In 1996 Anne Basting was curious…could improvisation and creative drama techniques that were so powerful for healthy older adults prove helpful for people with dementia? After trying many reminiscence-based techniques, Anne shifted toward imagination – and the improvisation sessions took off.
Since then TimeSlips as an approach has been refined and developed, and is now used in care communities, museums, libraries, older people’s centres and individual homes in 41 US states and 12 countries including the UK.
This is an exciting opportunity for health/care professionals, artists and cultural organisations to come together to find out more about a successful international approach to embedding creativity in care provision. The day will be informative, interactive and fun!
Accredited training is available online, and participants in this day-long course will have the opportunity to take part in the online course afterwards at a discounted rate. However this is not essential, and the Edinburgh training day is designed as a standalone session.
The TimeSlips’ approach is evidence-based, award-winning, person-centred and joyful. It is used by care professionals and artists in older people’s services and care homes around the world. Don’t miss this is exciting opportunity to train with TimeSlips’ founder during her short visit to Scotland.
“TimeSlips opens storytelling to everyone by replacing the pressure to remember with the freedom to imagine.”
Presented by Luminate, Scotland’s creative ageing festival, and The Centre for Person-centred Practice Research at Queen Margaret University
Admission:
£30 per person for participants from care, health or cultural organisations.
Tea/coffee available at 10.30am
Lunch included. Please book via Eventbrite at

The Penelope Project: How the arts can transform care for older people by Professor Anne Basting
2017-03-13 18:00 - 20:30
With Professor Anne Basting, Theatre Artist and Educator; Professor of Theatre, Peck School of the Arts, University of Wisconsin / Milwaukee; 2016 MacArthur Fellow
Anne Basting is a theatre artist and educator, known internationally for her groundbreaking creative practice which engages older people in care settings and their wider communities. Her work demonstrates the potential of storytelling and creative expression to improve the lives of older people living with cognitive impairment. Basting has developed an alternative concept of ageing, one that focuses on its possibilities as well as its challenges, and views sustained emotional connections as critical to our wellbeing as we age
Her lecture will focus on the positive impact of community-building projects with older people as collaborators, including The Penelope Project, a collaboration between UWM Department of Theatre and Luther Manor Senior Living Community; The Islands of Milwaukee programme which aimed to create a sustainable network to bring meaningful engagement to older adults who are at risk of isolation; and a new creative training programme being launched in 2016 with 50 Wisconsin nursing homes.
Presented by The Centre for Person-centred Practice Research at Queen Margaret University and Luminate, Scotland’s creative ageing festival
