I am so glad to be part of such a useful organisation - from support by our Locality Manager, WhatsApp groups and network meetings. It's brought together registered managers who would have otherwise not have met in what can be a very isolating role. There has been so much support between the members of the network, the courses and webinars I have attended have been really focused and useful, just what is needed.

Really helpful and useful resource - this membership helps me as a manager of an independent, stand-alone home to keep in touch with other managers and keep up-to-date with the ever increasing changes in health and social care.
