Conference: Achieving Recognition and Support for Carers
Wednesday 16 November 2011
Park Plaza Hotel, Leeds
CIRCLE, in association with the Department of Health, hosted the 'Achieving Recognition and Support for Carers' conference on 16 November. This one-day conference provided 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 15 September 2011.
The conference focussed 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 provided 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.
A full report from the conference will follow.
