Context
The Health and Social Care Act brings radical change to how local health services are commissioned and delivered. Housing and related-support providers will be given an unprecedented opportunity to influence service design and to access new sources of funding by demonstrating the value of their work in delivering health and well-being outcomes - in meeting the needs of marginalised groups such as older and vulnerable people in particular.
- How will the new commissioning frameworks – such as health and well-being boards - work in practice?
- What opportunities are there for housing and related-support providers to influence the commissioning process?
- How can housing, health and social care services be better integrated to deliver new services and building projects?
- How can the impact of housing services on health and well-being be demonstrated to secure new sources of funding?
This essential conference for directors and senior managers with responsibility for service and business development will address these pressing questions and help your organisation prepare for new commissioning opportunities through new strategic relationships.
