Business as Usual at Care and Support West

Here at Care & Support West (C&SW) we have been working hard to support you in the fast-changing world of Covid-19. We hope that you are continuing to find our regular blogs helpful and informative.

The  world has significantly changed over recent months and we have had to postpone our Annual Conference from June 20 to February 2021- but our fantastic list of speakers have all committed to the new date and we look forward to telling you more about this over the coming months.

One of our big commitments at CSW is to celebrate great care- the care that you and your teams deliver across so many different settings every day. Our Annual Care Awards event has been postponed for 2020 and all nominations we received will go forward to 2021. By then we are sure that there will be more great care stories than ever to celebrate, and we look forward to you being a part of that event. Keep an eye on our website for our 2021 launch!

Owing to Covid 19 we had to postpone our planned workshop (Care under the Rainbow) in March and it will be firmly on our schedule for 2021. Our next scheduled workshop is 1 July and we are pleased to let you know that this will go ahead, via Zoom. Our commercial partners Citation have kindly agreed to lead a session (plus Q & A) focusing on the Health & Safety aspects of the changing face of care. In addition, Ashleigh Fox (LD Network, Director at Nurseline and Clinical Advisor to our Board) will present a piece (and Q & A) on the LD challenges of the Covid19 situation. Both parts of the session are aimed at providers of care in residential and community settings so there should be something for everyone.  For the Zoom link please register here to attend the session. (Please note that numbers are limited so this will be on a first-come basis and you will need to sign up to Zoom). We look forward to seeing you there!
