Great to see #sharedlives showcased as an innovation in adult social care by the @LSEnews & @KingsCollegeLon Supporting Innovation in Adult Care Programme @SASCI_Project @ImpAdultCare @SharedLivesPlus: sasciproject.uk/_files/ugd/e1a…

“It’s often not the technology which leads to change, but human behaviour.” - @DavidBehan15 closes our celebration of #SocialCare innovation by emphasising the importance of people, relationships, and behaviour.

“A lot of the innovations people are using related to #SocialCare are customised from general tech developments, like Ring and Alexa. Being able to customise tech to people’s needs is key, but we still can’t replace human interaction.” - @AnnaSeverwright #Innovation

“We need to improve working conditions if we want to attract people to the health and social care workforce.” - @A_LMontero on the global #labour shortage. @ESNsocial #workforce #healthworkforce #careworkforce @AmmTowers @hscwru

Innovation or continuous improvement? 📈 Panelists are now discussing if there is a distinction, and how to define that. 💭 #SocialCare #Innovation

“We need to just jump in the river. The best learning comes from the things that don’t go according to plan.” - @JennyPittsNDTi on how we sometimes need to #JustDoIt, because the status quo of #AdultSocialCare isn’t good enough. ✅

In the final panel of the day, @A_LMontero talks about the importance of transferring #innovations that work from one context to the next. ↗️ #socialcare #innovation

The final panel is opened by @DavidBehan15, who introduces @A_LMontero, @AnnaSeverwright, and @JennyPittsNDTi. Our day will end with a discussion on furthering #innovation in #SocialCare. 🌎

Thinking through developing #innovations as rivers with rocks and headwinds, but also a journey to be navigated. 🛶💡 #SocialCare

“Invention and innovation is one thing, but actually implementing them is it’s own challenge.” - insights from the breakout session on the #innovation community. #socialcare

At the @SASCI_Project breakout session on improving #evidence use in #innovation, CPEC researcher @HannahKendrick6 points out that partnership models are an innovation in + of themselves. 💡 @TransformUre @JulietteMalley @AnnetteBoaz #partnerships #researchpracticepartnerships

Victoria Odude from @SharedLivesPlus explains the work she does with young people who are care experienced to inform #SocialCare innovations and policy.

“When we turn care into a verb rather than a noun - it’s something you do rather than something that you are - can address stigma around providing, receiving, and facilitating care at various points in our life.” - Emma Back from @equalcarecoop reflecting on transforming #care.

In the breakout session on the #innovation community, participants are collaboratively working through approaches to #SystemsChange in #SocialCare along the innovation journey. ✍️ #collaboration

Important reflections on what #research actually is, who it serves, and when the focus needs to turn to action in the breakout session on #evidenceuse in #SocialCare #innovation. 💭

At the breakout session on sustaining a focus on #innovation, Jo Cheshire from WCS Care talks about how important #culture is, and how their organisation has developed a campaign to elevate the role of #carers. #SASCI #SocialCare

Breakout sessions are underway: attendees to our #SASCI event are now in discussion with each other about different aspects of #SocialCare, from sustaining innovation to effectively using #evidence to drive change. 💬

“On the one hand, policy can create headwinds, but on the other hand, it can really positively contribute to the innovation journey.” - @JulietteMalley on the dualistic role of #policy in #SocialCare innovation. #innovation #SASCI @CPEC_LSE
