Meet the people who manage social care services in Tameside.
This conference is for anyone aged 50+ interested in local social care and health services. It is an opportunity to find out about social care and health services and have a greater say about how these services should develop. Managers from a wide range of services in the Council, Health organisations and the voluntary sector will be at the conference to hear what people need.

This year the conference will focus on the Government’s new vision for adult social care services. Adult social care services needs to change in a way that allows older people to have the best possible quality of life and live full and purposeful lives. What needs to be done to make this vision a reality? This is an opportunity to take part in discussion groups and say what you think needs to be done.
