Breakout sessions are underway: attendees to our #SASCI event are now in discussion with each other about different aspects of #SocialCare, from sustaining innovation to effectively using #evidence to drive change. 💬

At the breakout session on sustaining a focus on #innovation, Jo Cheshire from WCS Care talks about how important #culture is, and how their organisation has developed a campaign to elevate the role of #carers. #SASCI #SocialCare

Victoria Odude from Shared Lives Plus explains the work she does with young people who are care experienced to inform #SocialCare innovations and policy.

At the SASCIProject breakout session on improving #evidence use in #innovation, CPEC researcher Hannah Kendrick points out that partnership models are an innovation in + of themselves. 💡 Transforming Evidence Juliette Malley Annette Boaz #partnerships #researchpracticepartnerships

“We need to just jump in the river. The best learning comes from the things that don’t go according to plan.” - @JennyPittsNDTi on how we sometimes need to #JustDoIt, because the status quo of #AdultSocialCare isn’t good enough. ✅

Innovation or continuous improvement? 📈 Panelists are now discussing if there is a distinction, and how to define that. 💭 #SocialCare #Innovation

“We need to improve working conditions if we want to attract people to the health and social care workforce.” - Alfonso Lara-Montero on the global #labour shortage. European Social Network #workforce #healthworkforce #careworkforce Prof Ann-Marie Towers HSCWRU

“A lot of the innovations people are using related to #SocialCare are customised from general tech developments, like Ring and Alexa. Being able to customise tech to people’s needs is key, but we still can’t replace human interaction.” - Anna Severwright #Innovation

“It’s often not the technology which leads to change, but human behaviour.” - David Behan closes our celebration of #SocialCare innovation by emphasising the importance of people, relationships, and behaviour.
