As part of our recent strategic review at The Outstanding Society, we wanted to make it clearer what each of our Directors specialises in across adult social care. We believe this not only highlights the breadth of expertise within our team but also helps our members, partners, and colleagues know exactly who to connect with for specific areas of focus. This clarity will support our mission to champion excellence in adult social care, ensuring that the wealth of knowledge and experience within the OS is visible and accessible to everyone we work with. We’re excited about this next step and the opportunities it will bring for collaboration and impact across the sector. @skillsforcare @CQCpressoffice @CliftonHomeCare @VidaHealthcare1 @LDCCareCo @CareShow @CareTalkMag @howdenlocaluk @RWKGoodman @Camascope @BrightSelection @CavalryCare

RM webinar | AI: Starting small, growing smarter Thursday 25 September | 10:00 – 11:00 | Online In partnership with @skillsforcare, this webinar is designed to support frontline managers to take their first steps into the world of artificial intelligence (AI). Focusing on low-risk, practical ways to get started, explore how AI can support everyday tasks, reduce admin pressures, and improve decision-making — without the need for technical expertise or major investment. Whether you're curious, cautious, or simply don’t know where to begin, this webinar will help you feel more confident about what AI is (and isn’t), and how it could help you grow smarter in how you lead and deliver care. It is a fantastic introduction to show how small changes can quickly unlock big value in adult social care services. This session is aimed at those new to AI and is not intended for digital specialists already familiar with AI solutions or using them daily.
