Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

NICE have now published three guidelines which are relevant to the care and support of older people:
Home care: delivering personal care and practical support to older people living in their own homes
Transition between inpatient hospital settings and community or care home settings for adults with social care needs
Older people with social care needs and multiple long-term conditions
Alongside hosting three workshops, the NICE Collaborating Centre for Social Care is hosting a FREE webinar to introduce these guidelines together and enable frontline practitioners and managers to consider how they can support practice improvement.
Self-directed support (NDIS or My Way) has the potential to revolutionise support to people with disabilities. But service providers must also adapt, learn and innovate. These slides were shared at an event for over 90 service providers in Perth, WA - with the support of WADSC and NDS.
The presentation was a workshop at Evolve 2014: the annual event for the voluntary sector in London on Monday 16 June 2014.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

National network organisation- hosted by the NHS
Working with experienced academics, researchers and clinicians
have developed an award winning, evidenced based approach to engaging
people and communities
Pioneered Community Health Champion model starting in 2008 working
with more than 21,000 health champions, gone on to develop champion
models tailored to specific groups and settings
Use a whole system approach which creates the conditions for
a new relationship between citizens and services which has
the potential to create a new model of general practice
3. • Changing role of the NHS - unprecedented challenge
• Paradigm shift away from the ‘medical model’

Why Change?
4. • Much talked about in the NHS but rarely achieved
• Altogether Better working with citizens and services discovered
the potential to transform services
• Radical attempt at system change designed to enable the
practice and population they serve to co-evolve
• Looks at the system as a whole
• More than a shift in boundaries from one practitioner to
another
System Change
5. • Experience of working in 60 innovation sites in General Practice
has led us to stumble across a new model for general practice:
‘Community Centred Practice’ which is designed to meet these
challenges
• Citizens/patients play a pivotal role in meeting this challenge
• Found new ways to be in conversation with citizens
• Not just in primary care
• National recognition & awards
Evolving Community

15. Why?
● Rising demands on A&E during winter
● Cohort of vulnerable or socially isolated older people
● Scaling up and robustly test 7 existing local approaches
that mobilise volunteers to reduce demands
● Aim to mainstream successful interventions
● 30 additional areas in February 2015 due to waiting time
targets in A&E being missed - asked by DH to provide
a rapid social action response
16. Nature of the interventions
● Teams of staff and volunteers are providing practical and
emotional support in the community,hospitals and A&E and
act as navigators into other local VCSE support
● Support includes:
● Support is time limited - aiming to support people to
be independent
■ assisted shopping;
■ simple home adaptations;
■ befriending; and
■ transport.

22. Care Homes and Beyond: Diverse citizens, diverse
communities
23. Our
hypothesis
That there exists a reservoir of social capital
among volunteers to be deployedin health and
social care. Some of these people already work
in the sector, many in quite limited roles; our
hypothesis is that if fully utilized and well-
supported this group of volunteers has the
potential to improve outcomes for citizens in
radical ways.
24. The challenge
“There are huge opportunities for volunteering to help transform
health and social care services and bring about real
improvements for patients and the wider public. The challenge
now is to ensure that the system can make the most of these
opportunities. Many organisations lack a strategic vision for the
role of volunteering within their workforce, and so miss the
opportunities that exist.” (Kings Fund, 2013)
25. How will volunteers do this?
• By taking time to get to know people and build relationships
• By helping people build connectionsbeyond services
• By looking and listening
• By advocating; and by passing on intelligence
26. Our questions
• What do volunteers do today?
• How might volunteers be supported?
• How might they pass on information?
• What about confidentialityand ethical issues?
• How do we see volunteers improving the quality of life for
people in various caring situations?
27. Key players: who are we talking to about this?
The person
Commissioners
Managers
28. Emerging issues/what people have told us
• The Care Act: wellbeing, prevention,integration…
• Not about job substitution
• Some good practice exists today…
• Nevertheless:we need to test ourthinking in diversesettingsand
situations
• Think about the full range of volunteersand volunteering
arrangements
• Think more about volunteeringaround the person…matching
• Think more about peoplewho use servicesas volunteers
29. Our next steps
• Consult with volunteering infrastructure organisations
• Continue discussionswith CQC
• Think more about commissioning: engage TLAP and ADASS
• Develop a top-tips guide for providers
• Find providers to test out our tips
• An updated discussion paper and publicity
……..and talk to people using services, ULOs and carers’ groups;
co-productionin all
30. Today
• Continue to debate the role of volunteering in promoting
quality
• Identify more allies
• Be clear about the challenges
