SCNACs (Social Care Nursing Advisory Councils)

The Chairs of the seven regional @SCNACsOffical were proud to host a virtual update on their progress last week in their Monthly meeting. The event featured insights from @sturdy_deborah and @Duncan_CNO from @DHSCgovuk Nurse leaders from across health and social care highlighted how these councils are driving collaboration across the system. Current regional priorities include work on clinical competencies, delegation, research, and medication sustainability. The chairs are proud to lead the councils, which have diverse memberships representing residential care, domiciliary care, learning disability services, education, mental health nursing, and more. This variety is crucial to ensuring social care nursing voices are heard alongside NHS colleagues, creating an integrated collaborative approach to health and social care.
