Autumna supports the NCA national conference

Autumna, the UK’s most detailed directory of later life care providers, and largest source of self-funding enquiries, is proud to support and promote the National Care Association (NCA) national conference in Manchester.

Founder and Managing Director, Debbie Harris said: 

“Our aim at Autumna has always been to raise the profile and standards of the elder care sector and promoting the work of an association that shares these goals makes perfect sense.

“We’re particularly looking forward to the opportunity to meet the association’s members – old and new - at The Turning The Tide…Fighting Back! conference on 9th May at Manchester United’s Old Trafford Stadium.

“We’ll be looking to share ideas and identify opportunities to spotlight the social care agenda in this important election year.”

With a host of guest speakers including Andrew Gwynne MP Shadow Minister of Social Care, Sir David Pearson Co-Chair of a national steering group to develop an Adult Social Care Workforce Strategy and David Brindle, a leading social policy journalist, the conference will focus on the action that National Care Association and the sector is taking to improve the quality of care further.

Nadra Ahmed CBE Executive Co-Chair National Care Association commented:

“For too long we have allowed governments of all colours to neglect social care. This conference is designed to support care providers to have their voices heard above the rhetoric. We face many challenges but the two that appear above all others consistently are funding and workforce. Both need to be addressed to create a long-term social care solution.

“As we sit at the edge of another election, we are likely to be told that there is a solution that each party has so we are bringing politicians and sector experts into our event to tell us their thoughts.

“Clearly there is a litany of broken promises but that must not deter us as we know that the need for social care is increasing and in such a way that we cannot afford to allow the collapse of provision across the country. We know that the most ‘at risk’ provision are small and medium sized providers which is why this event is tailored specifically for that group but will apply to large groups too.

“Our strength is our membership as we continue to support and fight for you. We are united in our purpose to ensure that those who need care and support at critical times of their lives have a service to turn to”.
