The Better Care Fund will provide £3.8 billion to local services to give elderly and vulnerable an improved health and social system - and now it's your chance to get involved.
The Fund exists to generate real momentum in the drive to integrate health and care services - a catalyst for change.
As part of wider engagement around the Better Care Fund, a series of half day regional events for people from across the health and care system are being held over the next three months. The events include presentations and debate from local organisations and national and international policy leads and teams, as well as smaller delegate led table discussions.
As a delegate, you will have the opportunity to:
- hear and discuss what is happening locally within a national and international policy context
- help influence the design and implementation of Better Care Fund plans
- share ideas and best practice.
Two events are taking place in the Midlands:
21 January – Central Birmingham – Holiday Inn – 12.30-5pm
23 January – Loughborough – The Link Hotel – 12.30-4.15pm
We really encourage you to attend either of these events. Please register by clicking on one of the links above. If you are unable to attend please do send a colleague - your views matter!

Would be interested to know when these events are coming to Eastern England

4 days notice is a bit short to organise despite the importance of the subject. Do you have any more events planned, preferably in the south west? Thank you. Roger Wharton

Thanks Jon and Patricia for your queries. We can confirm there'll be a south east event 11 March and it is hoped there will be two more in March for the north east and north west. More details to follow.
In the meantime, for those of you in the East Midland's there's still time to sign up and attend the Loughborough event: http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/department-of-health-england-2923126649
