‘Supporting Solace’
Exploring palliative and end of life care within the independent social care sector

Following the publication of ‘Trees that bend in the wind: Exploring the experiences of front line support workers delivering palliative and end of life care’ in February this year, Scottish Care has been actively progressing the twelve recommendations made in the report.
‘Supporting Solace’ is a practical workshop designed to explore the realities of delivering palliative and end of life care in care homes and care at home organisations in more detail, and to also learn about new national and local developments in this area. We will also be launching our latest Scottish Care PEOLC resources.

SSSC Information Events for Scottish Care Members - Clydebank
2017-10-12 11:00 - 14:00
The SSSC Register for Care at Home and Housing Support opened on 2nd October 2017.
As registration will be a new process for many workers employed in our member organisations, we have been working alongside SSSC colleagues to set up a series of information events across the country. The purpose of these events is to advise providers and individual staff members of their responsibilities with regards to registration. Support will also be provided along with advice on where to find resources to help make the registration process as straightforward as possible for new registrants and the organisations they work for.
Following the events for Care at Home/Housing Support services, secondary events will be arranged to explore the challenges of Post Registration Training & Learning (PRTL). These will be open to all providers – Care Homes as well as Care at Home/Housing Support.

Identity & Belonging: Collaborative Conference
2017-10-17 10:00 - 16:00 | Burgh Halls, Linlithgow
A collaborative conference between Faith in Older People, Interfaith Scotland, Stonewall, Marie Curie and Edinburgh University Chaplaincy
Tuesday 17th October 2017 : 10am-4pm
Burgh Halls, Linlithgow
Fundamental to our spiritual, emotional and physical well-being is our sense of personal identity and where we feel we belong. We often make assumptions about where other people belong based on, for example, work, class or religion. We need to challenge these assumptions and to make a space to consider what we as individuals understand as our own ‘self- identity’ and how this is affirmed by those around us.
This collaborative conference will consider the issues from different perspectives – faith and culture, end of life, sexuality and spirituality and how they interlink.
The aim of the conference is to address:
‘Where does our sense of identify and belonging come from? How does religion, culture, sexual orientation, class and family influence our sense of being human and our attitudes to our society?
Our conference aims to discuss these issues and to consider practical action that could be taken to engender a stronger sense of ourselves as members of different communities and as citizens.’
Speakers Rev Dr Harriet Harris MBE – Edinburgh University Chaplaincy
Maureen Sier – Interfaith Scotland
Maureen O’Neill – Faith in Older People
Sophie Bridger – Stonewall
Richard Meade – Marie Curie
Lord Bracadale – Chair of the Independent Review on Hate Crime Legislation
Format Roundtable discussions
Style Informal and participative
Please register at www.fiop.org.uk stating any additional requirements
Cost: £40 which includes coffee breaks and lunch
