Is your Care Service "Effective"?


This is your last chance to book your place at our popular Registered Managers Conference on 23rd January.


New for this event:

In response to feedback from previous conferences, we will be offering  separate Care Home and Home Care streams for the afternoon sessions  to address the differences in the provision of care for different types of services.

Change NHS Providers Engagement Online Workshop

The NHS has launched Change NHS to hear your views, experiences and ideas which will shape a new 10 Year Health Plan for England. This will run until spring 2025.

 

As the NHS and Care are inexplicably linked, WMCA are delivering this workshop to gather the views from our members which we can then feedback to the 10 year review.
