The
'Really Important Questions' (RIQ) Annual Conference
Tuesday 21 October from 9.30am to 3.30pm at Dukinfield Town Hall
Meet the people who manage social care services in Tameside.
This conference is for anyone aged 50+ interested in local social care
and health services. It is an opportunity to find out about social care
and health services and have a greater say about how these services
should develop. Managers from a wide range of services in the Council,
Health organisations and the voluntary sector will be at the conference
to hear what people need.
This year the conference will focus on the Government’s new vision for
adult social care services. Adult social care services needs to change
in a way that allows older people to have the best possible quality of
life and live full and purposeful lives. What needs to be done to make
this vision a reality? This is an opportunity to take part in discussion
groups and say what you think needs to be done.
The conference is free of charge and lunch and refreshments will be
provided. Access needs can also be arranged. The RIQ conference is very
popular so early booking is essential. Please contact the conference
organisers for a booking form.
