Health & Social Care 'Social'
This event will bring together individuals, community groups, social enterprises, charities and private businesses working in the health and social care sectors in Oxfordshire.
We will be discussing key opportunities and challenges, and give attendees the chance to share news from their own organisations, exchange ideas and explore potential collaborations.
The session will start with an introduction and scene setting, followed by a panel discussion, before opening up to the room for discussion and questions.
The discussion will be led by the group and could cover a range of topics such as:
- Examples of inspiring local health and social care initiatives
- Challenges (and opportunities) resulting from the pandemic
- The changing policy landscape including the Health & Care Bill
- The growth in community-based care
- Local and national funding and business support opportunities
This session will be limited in numbers to facilitate good discussion and strong connections to help build relationships and collaboration going forwards.
Who is it for?
This session is aimed at SMEs that include Social Enterprises, social entrepreneurs, enterprising charities and other purposeful businesses committed to improving health and social care provision.
