Hello and welcome to the Tomorrow’s Care Yearbook 2017/2018.
With such momentous social changes within the UK, the care sector has been a major talking point in the news over the last year as its future has been thrown into much debate.
Though it might seem a long time ago now, the UK’s decision to leave the European Union (EU) following the Brexit vote was one of the first major changes last year to spark uncertainty for the sector’s future. With many care professionals recruited
from across Europe and the NHS having significant support from the EU, industry professionals have demonstrated, understandably, their worries over how the sector will fare as the UK makes its exit over the next few years.
Following the appointment of Theresa May as Prime Minister aſter the Brexit vote
prompted David Cameron to step down, a snap general election was called and the industry once again found itself as one of the key talking points. Whilst the main parties all addressed plans for social care in their manifestos, controversy was inevitably sparked by the proposals made and their feasibility. With the result of a
hung Parliament and the news that the Conservatives will form a minority government with the support of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), it looks like it will be a case
of ‘watch this space’ as we see where the sector stands in the Brexit plans and whether the actions of May will match the pledges in the Conservative manifesto.

twitter.com/TomorrowsCare Recognising the challenges we have faced and the ones that lie ahead, we have
features from several industry experts who discuss how best we can work together, as a sector, to focus on the positives and overcome any future obstacles. It is this
sense of togetherness, alongside hard work, which has been so well demonstrated from our healthcare professionals throughout a year of very turbulent times. As we reflect on the year, I feel that the most important thing is to recognise this
incredible, selfless hard work of those working in the healthcare sector and express our gratitude as best we can.
I hope you enjoy the read and I look forward to bringing you the latest developments and opinion from the forefront of the industry in the year to come!
