National Care Service Webinar – 24 August

National Care Service Webinar – 24 August

We are hosting a National Care Service Bill engagement session next week on Wednesday 24 August 2022, 2:00 pm.

This session is open to all Scottish Care members and staff. Our Policy & Research Manager, Becca Young, will be presenting on the progress of the National Care Service Bill and the consultation process currently underway. There will also be time for discussion and to ask any questions. This is an opportunity to hear more about Scottish Care’s response to the Bill, and for your comments to help shape Scottish Care’s submission to the Stage 1 Calls for Views. We would greatly appreciate your attendance at this session. A briefing will be shared in advance but attendees are also encouraged where possible to familiarise themselves with the National Care Service Bill:

Please register your interest using the form available on the Members Area of this website.

Please note that this webinar will be in a Teams Meeting rather than the usual Zoom format. After registering, you will be sent the joining link a few days before the webinar.
