Following huge demand, our Integration 101 sessions will be going back to basics - from the implementation of the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014 to where we are now and beyond. This short informal session will cover the policy context and aspirations, alongside the current national picture and what some of the challenges and opportunities will be over the coming years. It will also provide an opportunity for table-top discussions with participants and informal networking. We will also be holding an afternoon Integration Forum in which we will be discussing data and evidencing process in Health and Social Care Integration, particularly in lieu of the forthcoming performance reports (by end of July 2017).

Working with the Sector - illustrating what works A few weeks ago we started capturing stories that illustrate strategies and approaches that have enabled the sector's involvement to help illustrate 'what works' in our response to the Health and Sport Committee. We have decided that building a bank of these for Partnerships to access would be helpful moving forward and hence plan to keep this as an ongoing component of our work. If you have a story to share please email us or call the ALLIANCE on 0141 424 0231 and ask to speak to one of the team.

More information available here - deadline for responses 28th March. Our Integration Forum covering the workforce discussion document will feed in to the Third Sector Health and Social Care Team Response. Other NewsALLIANCE Calls on Health and Sport Committee to look beyond consultation on integration The ALLIANCE has called on the Scottish Parliament's Health and Sport Committee to broaden its consultation on Health and Social Care Integration; to consider the extent to which people who use support and services are being enabled to co-produce health and social care integration, rather than being consulted after the fact. The ALLIANCE also noted a range of views gathered through research by the Third Sector Health and Social Care Support Team and the Self Management Network Scotland; who noted many Third Sector Advocates are still not embedded within the decision making process. Read the full ALLIANCE response to the Health and Sport Committee here.
