 Shaping the “New” Agenda for Integration, Information and Joined up Services

Monday 27th February 2012
CoSLA Conference Centre, Edinburgh

“Unless Scotland embraces a radical, new, collaborative culture throughout our public services both budgets and provision will buckle under the strain,”Commission on the Future Delivery of Public Services, June 2011

On 12th December 2011 the Scottish Government (SG) set out its plans to integrate adult health and social care.

Rather than create a new statutory organisation separate from the NHS and local authorities, SG intends to replace Community Health Partnerships with Health and Social Care Partnerships.

The new Partnerships will be the joint responsibility of the NHS and local authority.

Legislation will be introduced in 2012 following consultation with partners in the NHS, local government, the third and independent sectors and professional bodies.

This event will give delegates the opportunity to ‘influence the agenda’

Speakers from SG, Local Authorities, academia, regulators and health will discuss the developing policy agenda, look at evidence form research and inspection, and share existing good practice.

Speakers confirmed are:

• Alison Taylor or Kathleen Bessos, Scottish Government
• Tom Forbes and Robin Fincham, University of Stirling
• Alison Petch IRISS
• Angela Canning, Audit-Scotland
• Lynne Porteous, Edinburgh City Council  
• Peter Macleod, President Elect, ADSW

Attendance at this event can be used as evidence of continuing professional development and ‘certificates of attendance’ will be provided (on request) for your CPD portfolio.

The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment and Health and Wellbeing Strategies: Challenges and Choices

Monday 30th January 2012
Banqueting Suite, the Council House, Birmingham

The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) has been a statutory duty since 2007. JSNAs have come in a variety of shapes and sizes, some very quantitative, some qualitative; some single overview, others deep dive on thorny topics.

The Health and Social Care Bill proposes to reinforce this by making the JSNA drive commissioning. It will also need to inform Health and Wellbeing Strategies, and be meaningful not just for Local Government and current NHS commissioners but for the more distributed commissioning environment of the future, such as the NHS Commissioning Board (NHSCB) and Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs).

This event will address some of the challenges – and choices – facing local areas as they prepare JSNAs, for example:

• What do we want the JSNA to do for us locally?
• What type of framework do we use? (eg LGID JSNA toolkit; Marmot Outcomes framework; hybrid local frameworks)
• What is the place of user and carer voice in the JSNA?
• How closely is the JSNA process aligned to commissioners?
• How do we make it meaningful for CCGs?
• Is it just health and social care or must it reflect wider ambitions?

We aim to address these issues and also identify some good practice and answers to choices that local areas may be able to share.
