This is one long ‘andsocialcareism’ (when ‘AND social care’ is added to text that’s only really about the NHS). So it thanks ‘health, social care and research staff for delivering on patient priorities’. But try finding a real #socialcare priority in here gov.uk/government/new…

Stories change the world and social care needs a better story. Read this new joint authored piece by @AnnaSeverwright & Beverley Tarka @1adass, with input from @LGAcomms @SCIE_socialcare for @themjcouk disq.us/t/4kp3i3s #SocialCareFuture

Social care isn't just under-resourced, it's under-imagined. We've got on & started to change the public story of social care. Tomorrow we're at #NCASC23, exploring how we can align, support & cooperate with others to build on our work. socialcarefuture.org.uk/changing-the-s…

“The traditional model of service delivery – based around centrally-organised, standardised solutions to discrete problems – doesn’t work when people are facing complex & interconnected challenges.” @MilaLukic spells out the problem with centralisation 🗨️ newlocal.org.uk/articles/how-c…

Services built bespoke around relationships that recognise the variability & potential of real lives, rather than processes, which cannot. @MarkAdamSmith’s Liberated Method is powerful must-read for anyone involved in public service reform @CFNorthumbria changingfuturesnorthumbria.co.uk/rethinking-pub…

New book 'Everyday Citizenship: Seven keys to a life well-lived' is written by and for people with learning disabilities and is all about changing how society thinks about people who are ‘different’... Preorders available now - Launching 9 January 2024 #EverydayCitizenship
