North West CEO and Commissioners Roundtable - Collaborative approaches to workforce innovation

Online

This Roundtable is one of a series of high level discussions providing the opportunity for owners, chief executives and managing directors of provider organisations to meet with commissioners of adult social care working in the North West. The network provides a forum to discuss strategic issues relating to the social care market, and the implications of these for providers and their workforce.  The face-to-face event will provide an opportunity for sector leaders to explore the conditions needed to support collaborative approaches to workforce innovation and shine a spotlight on examples of this happening in our region. Our solution focused discussions hope to bring together providers and commissioners to look at how we can collaborate to design and implement workforce innovation in adult social care.   At this event we will also be joined by NW ADASS to explore the future direction of social care under a new government, and we will look at how the new Workforce Strategy for Adult Social Care can inform and influence the debate.
