Seminar objectives

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

The day will include comment and case studies exploring innovative ways through which local authorities are supporting residents to live independently at home, working to enhance outcomes upon discharge from hospital and workforce retention and recruitment in adult care. The day will also include facilitated discussion to highlight the nature of support and advocacy that would be valued on behalf of the APSE membership to support the delivery of social care services.

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