Swine Flu Update

Swine flu - EPICS: Emergency Planning for the Independent Care Sector.

This new group has been formed arising from the last Learning Together Workshop at the Leyland Hotel when it was felt that more and better information and advice should be forthcoming for the independent sector. This group will coordinate information coming out to you. The first meeting (including reps from LCA) was held 2nd Oct.

Workshop (16 July) presentations from the Lancashire Resilience Forum and from Kirsty Macpherson (Alternative Futures).  

Thanks to everyone who attended this event. We were pleased to see a packed session. We are responding to delegate feedback from the event. In summary, people felt the planning structures described, and the resources devoted to planning, needed to be more connected with the day-to-day pressures of 'front-line' care and the important role played by social care staff, and the importance of the independent sector (which delivers the vast majority of care in care homes and care at home, needed to be recognised. LCA are working with LCC to respond to this feedback and we will keep you updated on these pages.
