Derby and Derbyshire

Thursday 1st February 2024, 10:30am - 2:30pm Online, via Zoom

We are a team who are working with local people and adult social services teams across the East Midlands.

Our work is trying to make waiting for social care services better for people in the East Midlands.

We are inviting local people to a meeting to tell us about waiting for services and how this could be better. We also want to hear what matters to you and what you think our work should do next.

The workshop is open to local people who draw on care and support, carers, people from the council, people from the voluntary sector and providers.

This event is hosted by the East Midlands Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (EMADASS) and the Improving Adult Care Together (IMPACT) team at the University of Birmingham.

To book a place contact Emma Beestone on 07816 283550 or emma.beestone@derbyshirecarers.co.uk
