As a professional with a responsibility for health & safety in social care I would like to remind you about this year's National Association for Safety and Health in Care's annual conference (NASHiCS) that takes place on Thursday 2 July at the Hilton Hotel, Blackpool.
The conference programme has been put together by health & safety officers working in social care and is designed to answer your questions on the following hot topics and key issues of the moment:
• How to promote up-to-date, sensible and realistic safety solutions to ensure quality care
• How to overcome the challenge of the changing care agenda
• Adult social care, the new direction - putting people first
• Health and safety - is it still the big bad brother?
• Safe services mean quality services
• Fire safety moving forward
• Fire related work practices and an update on current approaches
• Dementia moving forward - hints and tips as to how conflict can be turned into consensus amongst both staff and those in care
• Concerns that an over risk assessed range of activities and services will restrict and limit the enjoyment of life
Leading experts in their field will be sharing their experience on these subjects with you and will give practical advice about how you can implement the changes in your care establishments. Our delegate brochure is linked here with greater detail on speakers and the programme.
You can also gain CPD points by attending this year's event.
Enjoy the evening before and meet with other conference delegates at our informal 'pre-conference dinner'. You can book accommodation and breakfast at our venue for the night of 1 July. Please note registration opens at 8am on the Thursday morning.

July 2009 | Residents set up pen pal schemeRESIDENTS at a care home in Winsford are putting pen to paper to help launch a new pen pal programme.
The idea behind the programme is to help residents form new friendships, share hobbies and passions and exchange photographs and memories.
Gill Capner, home manager at Hallmark Healthcare's Westwood Court told Caring UK she came up with the idea to help stimulate communication and correspondence between residents.
She added: 'Everyone enjoys receiving a letter, and we feel this is a really good way to create our own set of pen pals.'
