It was a pleasure to host another successful roundtable with partners from the adult social care sector to discuss neighbourhood health services.
Shifting care into the community is a key part of our 10 Year Health Plan and we can only achieve this through close collaboration.

Important that we see the links between our health and our care, and the housing we live in. Having a life starts with where we want to live. Every decision about care is a decision about housing. @1adass @CQCpressoffice

Health starts at home 🏠
It’s where many of the building blocks of life are put into place. But for some people, home makes them sick and isn't a safe environment.
We're calling for a long-term strategy to ensure healthy homes for all. Read more ⬇️

Eh? Today’s @thetimes leader showing yet again profound ignorance of the #socialcare sector - which is overwhelmingly ‘private’ and loses most nurses to higher pay in the NHS

Inspectors went to see what was happening at 8 o’clock in the evening and found most people with intellectual disabilities were either ready for bed or already in bed.

New #socialcare leaders survey shows #care waiting lists fell last year & more care was provided to people at home. But without serious long-term investment, we won’t keep up with rising needs, staffing and financial challenges adass.org.uk/adult-social-ca…

Today we're recognising everything family and informal carers do to improve the mental health of the friends and family they care for. Without their support many would struggle even more. They are often the unsung heroes of social care. #mentalhealthawarenessweek2023

You will hear a lot about the NHS turning 75 this July. But modern social care also turns 75 this month. This blog from Simon looks at the original National Assistance Act and is the first of a social care blog series this month recognising social care very own 75th birthday…..

Modern #socialcare was born 75 years ago this week with the National Assistance Act. The Act’s intentions and ambitions are progressive, but it has fundamental issues that we still have to live with. Here’s the blog and below is a quick thread on it. kingsfund.org.uk/blog/2023/0…
