Dear all
Scottish Care and SSSC would like to invite you to attend a meeting of the Joint SSSC & Scottish Care Dementia & PEOLC Workforce Group.
We have sent out previous communications and before lockdown had raised the proposal of merging the Dementia Joint Group and the PEOLC group due to the similarities and overlap of learning and development requirements the social care workforce have regarding these forms of care services.
Both groups expressed a desire to merge and saw the potential in coming together and discussing Dementia and PEOLC learning needs and deciding what requires focus and development but saw benefit in having separate meetings for Care Home providers and Home Care providers. This has been recognised as being even more important as a result of COVID-19 and its impact on each care setting which has quite distinct differences.
Therefore we are delighted to invite you to our first meeting of the Joint Dementia & PEOLC group for our Home care members on 29th September being held virtually on Microsoft Teams between 1:30 and 2:30pm.
As with previous meetings of workforce groups we are keen that the content and discussion themes are shaped by the members of the group and facilitated where possible by Scottish Care and SSSC. This could include inviting speakers to join future meetings who can provide learning and development resources and opportunities. The group could also connect its members with tests of change and social care pilots that are taking place to give care providers opportunities to test innovative ways of working and embedding learning and knowledge in the workforce.
If you are interested in being part of the Dementia & PEOLC group and joining the meeting on the 29th September please can you email [email protected] Â to confirm your attendance.
Kind regards
Caroline Deane
