APSE Social Care Forum

View the full programme here

The APSE Social Care Forum is a vehicle for the sharing of good practise and debating service delivery ideas to support APSE member councils in ensuring effective care.

The day will feature comment and case studies on the provision of Integrated Health and Care services and include time for debate and discussion to discuss any concerns currently faced in the implementation of integrated service provision. We will also include time to feed back regarding the nature of support and advocacy that would be valued on behalf of the APSE membership.

The forum is free for both elected members and officers from APSE member councils to attend and will include a hot and cold bullet lunch, tea, coffee and refreshments.
