This week’s focus is on partnership working. Collaboration across health, social care, and local government continues to shape how support is delivered, demonstrating how stronger connections across our sector can help us meet challenges, share learning, and improve outcomes for the people we support.
In this issue, we highlight networking and learning opportunities for care managers to strengthen effective partnerships, alongside key guidance to support further understanding.
Our focus here is on working with colleagues in health and care. In a future edition, we will look more closely at co-production and working alongside people with lived experience.
