For a presentation…
Have you got an example of a Health Care Assistant or Support Worker doing something amazing? A great example of relational practice? A “going above and beyond” example?
I want to make a collage so tell me if you don’t want your name attached. Do share!

Gosh, it is a busy conference so far!!! Currently in the Derby room listening to Mersey Care take us through how their resettlement and reintegration programme works with a role play of how some of their relationships work. #BIGSPD25

We can’t build relationships by hiding in offices and behind screens. Data collection isn’t more important than relationships. Mick talks of how half of the work we do day to day actively gets in the way of relationships and causes alienation. #BIGSPD25

And the #BIGSPD25 pre meeting has finished. For the first time ever it has taken place in a Sceptre/Dr Evil style room that many people think we always meet in.
Conference proper begins soon 😬

There are 585 people at #BIGSPD25 this year, says Fi.
"Pace yourself" is her recommendation - it's gonna be full on. But of course it will also be wonderful , invigorating, inspiring and fun.
