Health and Social Care in Transition

Venue: Hilton Liverpool, 3 Thomas Steers Way, Liverpool, L1 8LW
Date: 27 October 2011
Time: 09:30 - 15:45

This conference for third sector health and social care leaders comes at a crucial point in transition, with stakeholders across the health sector shifting to adapt to the Government’s ongoing health reforms. The conference will update delegates on the shifting health and social care landscape and elucidate the opportunities and challenges for the sector at this time of great organisational change.

Mike Farrar, Chief Executive of the NHS Confederation is confirmed to give the morning keynote and the day will give specific focus to how third sector organisations can engage at a crucial stage in the formation of new systems in health and social care.

Three workshop sessions will provide an interactive space to discuss the early lessons learnt from GP Commissioning Pathfinder Schemes and consider how this new framework will affect the third sector. With dramatic changes ahead for public health, patient engagement and the funding of social care the day will provide an opportunity to hear from expert voices at the heart of these changes.

The day will be an opportunity to take stock, be updated on the latest policy developments, and above all hear and discuss how the Government’s NHS and social care reforms will work in practice
