The Minister for Care spoke first and outlined the government's priorities and plans - focused on legislating for a Fair Pay Agreement and the work of the Casey Commission + immediate actions they have taken. No new details I think

Good to be at ASC APPG parliamentary event today to launch their new report on meaningful engagement with people by the Casey Commission, discussion around the government's plans and an opportunity to meet MPs and voice ideas and concerns. It's a packed room! @ncfcareforum.bsky.social

They are reviewing their assessment framework:

We are looking at where we need to make changes to our methods.
These include;
• Discontinuing scoring at evidence category level
• Discontinuing the use of previous ratings to produce scores
• Reviewing how we use quality statements for each assessment
• Reviewing how we use our professional judgement when producing a final rating
• Professor Sir Mike Richards and members of the Care Provider
Alliance (CPA) chaired by Professor Vic Rayner OBE, will be taking forward a second phase of activity.
• This important work will inform both immediate and long-term decisions.

Next up @ncfcareforum.bsky.social conference is Phil Hope, a former Minister for Care Services under the last Labour government. He is giving a bit of insight into ministerial decision making and what makes a difference in engaging with government.

First up is Prof Bola Owolabi, NHSE Director for the National Healthcare Inequalities Improvement Programme. A big focus on equity and equitable access - using the example that all of us experienced the pandemic, but some people were more likely to become seriously ill for non-clinical reasons.

Good to be in Brighton for the Liberal Democrat conference over the next few days representing @ncfcareforum.bsky.social. We're working with our members and several sector organisations to encourage a more expansive debate about the future of adult social care. Will post some of my thoughts!
