UK Care Week preview Key speakers
Running a care business has become increasingly challenging in recent times, and the stories we see and hear in the media are not always good. With the cost-of-living crisis, recruitment challenges, and chronic underfunding by local authorities, some providers are exiting the market. However, despite all this, there is plenty of good news, too.
Some of the most influential voices from social care will be sharing their visions for the future of the sector at UK Care Week, including: Nadra Ahmed CBE, executive chair of the National Care Association. Nadra has been involved in social care for over 40 years. A trustee of Royal British Legion Industries and governor at Canterbury Christchurch University, Nadra has been a member of various government advisory committees, including a number at ministerial level. Throughout the pandemic, Nadra has been the respected voice of care providers. Nadra will be discussing The National Care Awareness Survey on 22 March at 11:00–11:45 Jayne Connery, director and founder, Care Campaign For The Vulnerable. Jayne set up CCFTV nearly ten years ago. Caring for her loved one, she saw an urgent need for greater transparency when caring for elderly people living with dementia in care homes, and began promoting the need for cameras in care. Supporting families and carers, CCFTV works to influence UK care providers to operate more openly and transparently. Jayne will be taking part
