ACEVO Spring Conference 2010

Government policy has increasingly focused on joining up health and social care (HSC) services, and recently policy development combined with pressures on public spending are likely to accelerate that development. The Government will need to get more bang for the public buck by ensuring that health and social care services are more innovative, more preventative and more joined up.

The creation of a National Care Service poses significant questions as to how the provision of HSC will be coordinated in future. The Government’s plans to transform community health services, and to achieve a shift from acute to community care, presents further opportunities for more joined up provision.

Topics Covered include:

• The Government’s overarching drive to achieve greater quality, innovation, productivity and a stronger focus on the prevention of illnesses
• The development of the Government’s plans for community health services and social care, and what implementation may look like
• The likely impact of public spending cuts on HSC services
• Opportunities for organisations to work together with each other and with the public sector to deliver more joined up services, including opportunities resulting from:emerging DH policy and new pilots schemes
• How HSC services will be regulated under the new joint system to be operated by the Care Quality Commission
