The theme ‘Compassion in Crisis’ highlighted the reality of care at home in Scotland today, the opportunities that lie ahead of us and how we can work together to achieve them

The day featured insightful talks, engaging seminars and an intimate opportunity to connect with people from across home care in Scotland

A crucial aspect of several of the conversations in Glasgow addressed the need to view care for what it truly is, a valuable investment that drives economic growth and community wellbeing at a local and national level
