Please read the recently published Long Term Conditions and Social Care Dialogue event report, and accompanying 'Living Well with Long Term Conditions: Twelve Propositions for Social Care'.
Social care is increasingly receiving attention from politicians and policy makers, not least because of the challenges presented by Scotland’s ageing population. The Scottish Government recently announced their plans to integrate health and social care
, and LTCAS will continue to work with its partners to influence this agenda so that people living with long term conditions receive the support they need to live well, self manage and access their right to independent, inclusive living.
Key partners in this work are:
The Stroke Association (Scotland), Coalition of Care and Support Providers Scotland (CCPS)
, Scottish Care
, Voluntary Action Scotland, Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF), Self Directed Support Scotland (SDSS), National Osteoporosis Society, Thistle Foundation, Joint Improvement Team, Independent Living in Scotland
, Neurological Alliance of Scotland, Alzheimer Scotland
, Sense Scotland, Momentum
and Parkinson's UK .
