Creating outcomes together: integrating housing, health and ca re A conference for housing, health and care professionals Wednesday 17th October 2012
York Racecourse
Overview There has never been a better time to determine how the integration of housing into the mix of health and social care can deliver better outcomes for customers. ‘Caring for our future’, the Government’s White Paper to reform care and support, has been published at last and it is apparent that government has understood the message from the Health Select Committee that “A well-funded, fully integrated system of care, support, health, housing and other services is essential, not just to provide high quality support for individuals, carers and families, but also to provide good value to the exchequer and the tax payer.” The White Paper announces the Government’s intentions to: Legislate for joint working across care, health and housing Fund new accommodation options for older and disabled people Make NHS land available for better housing options Improve information and advice, making it available at the right time so people can choose from a wide range of options Accelerate assistive technology, helping people to live at home Together with the NHS outcomes framework, the scene is set for housing to be an integral part of improving health, and meeting care and support needs. But how is this going to become a reality and what will the results be? By attending this conference you will hear from key players in health, social care and housing who will explore excellent practice; and examine evidence of successful outcomes from joint working on the ground that improve outcomes and achieve savings and efficiencies. In particular the conference will explore: How the Care and Support White Paper and the new NHS commissioning landscape are driving a more integrated future The opportunities to engage with health and care in joint commissioning Building an evidence base to prove health and care outcomes and value from housing–led projects Examples of housing activities that are contributing to better health and wellbeing outcomes and providing value for money Who should attend? This event is for commissioners in housing, health and social care and housing service providers who are shaping their business to offer health or social care related services. Members of Health and Well-Being Boards, and senior managers and portfolio holders of housing and social care will also find this conference of interest. Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Delegates will be able to record 4 Continuing Professional Development hours for attending this conference.
