Innovation for Carers

Download the report and watch back the highlights from our event at the University of Stirling on Tuesday, 18 February 2025

Joined by representatives from just under half of Scotland's Health and Social Care Partnerships, experts by experience and leading charities and organisations, we had a brilliant discussion about the future of carer support services in the country.

A rare chance for us to all gather, share experiences and knowledge, the event gave us opportunity to reflect and look forward to the future of these vital support services. Thank you to all who joined us and for bringing your valued contribution.
