shared care scotland
2007 annual conference
The focus of Shared Care Scotland's 2007 Annual Conference was on showcasing good practice and generating new ideas and possibilities for the development of short break and respite services.
The aims of the Conference were:
130 delegates attended from all parts of Scotland - a mix of services users, carers and those who provide, commission, plan and make policy on services. Shared Care Scotland would like to thank the many contributors and workshop leaders who helped to make the day a success.
..."My colleague and I attended the conference at the Glen Pavilion and we were both very impressed at the exceptiona
l organisation that made the event, in our opinion, such a success. We would like to congratulate the speakers, workshop presenters, facilitators and reception staff for such an informative and enjoyable day and we hope that we will be able to participate at future events."
...Elspeth Murray was our poet in residence. Elspeth worked with Shared Care Scotland in the 2 months leading up to the conference, visiting and speaking to carers and service users around the country about their experiences of respite. These insights provided the inspiration for two poems which Elspeth read out to the conference. You can read these poems by clicking here.
