Good practice approaches to meeting care and support needs

Social care providers continue to work within a financially challenging environment, face unprecedented levels of scrutiny and work with an agenda that promotes choices and personalised care. This conference provides a key opportunity for policy-makers and commissioners to join with innovative providers and explore how the sector can respond positively to the challenges now and in the future.

A joint project by the Nuffield Trust and The King’s Fund explored the current pressures facing care services and their implications. This event provided an opportunity to showcase our interim findings and share evidence about the relationship between changes in spending, how this feeds through to the quality and quantity of services, and the impact on the health and wellbeing of people who use them.

Plenary sessions debated the funding model and policy levers needed to secure a sustainable future for social care, whilst interactive breakout sessions explored innovative practices and strategies commissioners and providers are using to mitigate current pressures.
