The social care presence had been loud and proud at this event 👏🏻 💚🥳 Having the opportunity to present on a topic I care passionately about #lonelinessandsocialisolation and chairing the wonderful Dr Zena Aldridge FRSA MA RNMH QN on her informative session around supporting and communicating with people who have a cognitive impairment. Then a fantastic session around #vivaldi research study on preventing infection in care homes with Laura Shallcross @nicola murphy and Diane from Rights for Residents - another really informative session. Connecting with #TeamFNF Florence Nightingale Foundation Jane Lennon Debbie Preston Jess Sainsbury Becky Thomas and taking part in their interactive session on using social media to create your personal brand (and loving my new alumni champion badge!)

This year's World Mental Health Day fell on Day 2 of The Care Show Birmingham. This year's theme was ‘It is Time to Prioritise Mental Health in the Workplace’ A theme which we thought was so important in our sector. As most people who work in Adult Social Care, do so because they are naturally caring individuals. And these are individuals most likely to prioritise others over their own needs. And these are also the individuals most likely to suffer from self-doubt, stress overloading and burnout. The OS is committed to raising awareness and supporting the sector on this crucial issue.
