Lisa Werthmann, Director at CMM, said, ‘CMM is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2023 and this new webinar series is a welcome addition to the CMM Insight portfolio. The webinars will be delivered in collaboration with a number of leaders in the sector and we hope that as many people as possible can join us and benefit from national discussions and essential learning.
‘The NCF represents the voices of not-for-profit care organisations, and I am excited about this next chapter in our partnership and look forward to welcoming delegates to the webinars over the coming months.’
Further details about the webinars, including how to book your place, can be found online. Visit the CMM website and follow CMM on Twitter for the latest information.
The Care Innovation Challenge, a hackathon-style creative weekend of idea generation and prototype trialling, returns in July 2023. With cash prizes, expert mentoring and guaranteed media coverage this is an opportunity not to be missed.
The Challenge, hosted by the Care Innovation Hub (CIH), is run by the National Care Forum (NCF) and is supported by Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) through its National Co-production Advisory Group (NCAG) to ensure people with lived experience help to create solutions to key challenges faced by the care sector. NCF is dedicated to developing innovation in the social care and support sector and this is a natural home to drive the CIH into the future.
Professor Vic Rayner OBE, NCF’s Chief Executive Officer, said, ‘We welcome anyone who wants a chance to be part of the future of care. We hope to receive applications from a diverse group of people, including individuals and teams from care providers, undergraduates and postgraduates from universities and people with social entrepreneurial ambitions.
‘You do not need to be an expert in social care, or have any experience of social care yourself, to apply. You do not need to have any technical skills. You just need to have an intention to improve the quality of life of those receiving care in the UK.’
Successful applicants will be invited to a creative weekend of idea generation and prototype trialling at Coventry University on 1st-2nd July 2023. There will be expert advice available from CIH sponsors and founding supporters which include RWK Goodman, Marrgo, Care Management Matters, Care Friends and Borough Care to help participants in developing their ideas.
