SPREADING ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL

I am writing to register my interest in the South Central Management Network, and look forward to receiving more information. I have responsibility for a number of community provider services, including district nursing, health visiting, podiatry, wheelchair, continence, Day Services, Tissue Viability, SALT, psychology - with a strong focus on long term conditions and developing services to deliver care 'closer-to-home' and to reduce admissions to the acute sector.

I am looking for a network of peers, as this can be a rather lonely outpost at times; for others' ideas, innovations, creativity etc..; for new 'evidence based' ways of delivering services within budget and how to ensure that implementation of policy on the ground is embedded and sustainable.

These are just a few initial thoughts and I look forward to being part of this new network.
