Achieving Recognition and Support for Carers
CIRCLE, in association with the Department of Health, are pleased to announce the ‘Achieving Recognition and Support for Carers’ conference. This one-day conference will provide a forum to discuss the findings of CIRCLE's evaluation of the National Carers' Strategy Demonstrator Sites programme and an opportunity for participants to contribute to the Department of Health's 'Caring for our Future: shared ambitions for care and support' engagement process, announced by Care Services Minister Paul Burstow on 15th September 2011.
This one-day conference is free to attend to pre-registered delegates but places are limited and participants must register by 5.00 pm on Monday 31st October 2011.
Who should attend the conference?
This conference will focus on how best to support carers’ health and wellbeing in the future, addressing issues of great current interest to all working in the health and social care field.
Timed to coincide with the DH engagement exercise Caring for our future: shared ambitions for care and support, the conference provides an opportunity for:
- health and social care commissioners and strategic managers
- carers’ leads in the NHS and local authorities
- voluntary organisations which support carers
- researchers and experts on carers and carer support
to exchange experience and information and engage in debate about the shape, scope and practical delivery arrangements for carers’ services in the future.
