Feedback on another successful WMCA Conference

We hosted our first Registered Managers, Deputies and Seniors CPD Conference of 2025 on 23 rd  January, at the Bescot Stadium in Walsall.


This time we focused on the CQC Quality Statement ‘ Is your Care Service Effective ?’


It was an educational and informative day, with approx. 110 care providers attending and a number of providers on a waiting list!

All those who attended said it had been a very useful and worthwhile event.

Is Your Business Ready for the CQC's

New Environmental Sustainability assessment?

The CQC are introducing a  new quality statement focused on business's environmental sustainability , that care businesses will need to evidence from March 2025.

 

Our Spring Providers Conference will look at the proposed changes and how care providers can ensure they are committing to environmental sustainability as part of their business plan.

The Day of Action is our chance to make our voices heard.

Providers Unite Day of Action

25th February 2025

The time to unite is now!


With 2,950 supporters signed up to Providers Unite, over 1,000 active members in our WhatsApp group, and full support from national representative organisations, we are standing together as a sector to demand action. 
 
Social care is at breaking point. NHS pressures are growing, and funding continues to fall short.
