Seminars
10.30am – 11.00am: Disruption through design: time to care about care
Karen Hedge, National Director, Scottish Care
The last decade has seen many and concurrent changes for social care. Whilst well-intended, the result has been fragmented implementation and a tired sector striving to uphold the human rights-based care and support that the people of Scotland deserve. This session looks at the potential for disruption through design innovation and finding that golden thread to tie everything together.
11.30am – 12.00pm: How do you grade your service? Can you evidence six star provision?
Senga Currie, Head of Care Development (Scotland), QCS
Most providers deliver a great service however, their gradings are heavily influenced on what is seen on the day, and what is recorded. Some individuals are better than others at organising and evidencing what occurs in day to day life. This seminar will help providers maximise their quality assurance process, give examples of how to demonstrate continuous improvement resulting in better outcomes for the users and demonstrating not just compliance but excellence to the regulator.
12.45pm – 1.15pm: Advanced Care Planning for Dementia
Gayle Henry, Learning & Development Officer, Dementia Service Development Centre (DSDC) University of Stirling
Advance Care Planning can be an open and honest conversation with a trusted individual or professional or completing ACP documents. Documentation is preferred, it encourages open conversation and information sharing, reducing ambiguity and more likely to be followed. Documenting expectations reduces carer burden, family stress and guilt by having input from the individual also offering opportunities to resolve interpersonal differences contributing to a comfortable end of life experience.
2.00pm – 2.30pm: From Compliance to Collaboration
Linda Kemp, Service Manager – Adult services, Care Inspectorate
Working in partnership with Scotland’s care providers to drive improvement. The Care Inspectorate’s new quality frameworks promote self-evaluation and focus on the outcomes for people who use care services. Informed by the Health and Social Care Standards, the right to dignity and respect are central to the methodology.
Workshops
10.00am – 10.20am & 1.30pm – 1.50pm: Workshop: What’s on your playlist? How personal music helps Dementia
Paula Bain, Business Manager, Playlist for Life
We all have a soundtrack to our life. Finding personally meaningful music brings many benefits to the person living with dementia and those who care for them. This workshop will provide practical ‘Music Detective’ skills to get you started making and using a playlist. It will enable a greater understanding of the power of personal music and its benefits, and how it can be used as a powerful tool in dementia care.
