Transforming Your Care- What does this mean for volunteering?

 This was an opportunity for volunteer involving organisations to come together and consider what these changes may mean for volunteering.  

 Some of the changes that are proposed for the system going forward are a shift to more care in the community i.e. providing more support to enable people to live at home for longer and encouraging independence and rehabilitation.  For more details of the discussion and the issues highlighted by volunteer involving organisations in relation to Transforming Your Care go to www.volunteernow.co.uk/supporting-organisations/volunteering-in-the-public-sector/health-and-social-care
