It's just as well that there were three of us attending, as there was much on offer and we each attended different workshop and seminar sessions to optimise the opportunity to gather information.
With content focused on Dementia, Cardiovascular & Respiratory Diseases, Cancer, and Diabetes & Obesity, speakers highlighted current practice and research in these diverse areas of care.
What did we learn?
- that there are some really exciting examples of good practice in the organisation and delivery of care, for example the Better Together project, helping people with long term conditions get home and stay home following health challenges, utilising integrated approaches to care delivery
- that the contribution of very diverse members of a multi-disciplinary team can achieve great things when permitted to think creatively and, for example supported by The British Heart Foundation using the House of Care Programme;
- that one size does not fit all, and that integrated approaches need to be tailored to local need, and draw upon a more diverse array of agencies, for example The Fire Service;
- the whereabouts of some fantastic resources, for example where to find public health data and learning resources such as Public Health England's fingertips website, and the British Social Attitudes website. Please do check these resources out for future reference, if you are not already aware of them.
