Support for Carers, Friends and Parents
Carers UK is proud to be hosting the 5th International Carers Conference in Leeds on Friday 9th July to Sunday 11th July 2010.
New Frontiers in Caring: 2010 and beyond will debate the challenges of managing care and caring in a modern society with contributors from around the world.
This is an opportunity for you – strategic decision makers, practitioners, policy makers, researchers, people with an interest in care and its impact - to exchange your expertise and experience, explore innovation and seek real solutions to the care crunch.
The conference will reflect the real impact of care on our lives and our societies by focusing on four key themes:
Health, Social Care and Well-being: how do modern societies and economies manage care in the face of demographic change?
Caring and Employment: how can we support people to juggle work and care, contributing to economic and social sustainability?
Funding, Financial and Legal Support: where should the responsibility for funding care lie between individual, family, community and the state?
Technology, Design and the Built Environment: how can technology support the delivery of care, and transform the lives of individuals and families?
The conference speaker line-up is world class with keynotes and workshop presentations from more than 20 countries. Join with colleagues from as far afield as Australia and India, China and the USA, as well as closer to home in Europe, to add your voice to the global debate.
You can attend the full conference, including the full social programme for as little as £295 +VAT*
