Scottish Care SDS

Through in the capital today for some @scottishcare meetings and the old lady that is #Edinburgh after much fuss finally decided to put on some sunshine for the day and doesn’t she look glorious! #carecreates

Returning to my weekly blog after the #CareCreates campaign I reflect on why we need to see #socialcare in Scotland as an act of #flourishing rather than simply #maintaining people. #healthyageing, #humanrights scottishcare.org/news/flourish-…

Data - what does it really tell us, is it always reliable? I've always been taught a tool is just a tool - how it is used, what it creates, depends on the artist. With risk assessments & observations - always use numbers with caution - do they match what you see? #NursesWeek2026

We’re delighted to welcome Hierarchy Technologies as a sponsor of the #Homecare26 Conference this Friday. 🎟️ Tickets still available - book now and visit Hierarchy at the exhibition on 15 May. buff.ly/DswbKcA #CareCreates

I light tonight’s #candleforcare in the earnest hope that with a new parliamentary session and many more new MSPs that #socialcare will be a priority in every sense. #CareCreates
