Care Show London 2024 review
In 2021/22, 818,000 UK adults received social care in care/nursing homes or in their own homes, through publicly funded long-term social care. There were a further 224,000 cases of short-term care provision. There is an ongoing worry that demand is outstripping supply, with the 1.5 million adult social care workers struggling to meet growing care needs.
The Care Show London 2024 was held from the 24th-25th April at the award-winning ExCeL venue in London and didn’t shy away from tackling this recruitment crisis, with panel discussions on all aspects of recruitment, including international visas.
This year’s leading event attracted over 200 leading suppliers, 180 top speakers and over 3,000 visitors across six training zones, with exhibitors delighted at how well the show was organised, with clear signage and spacing and high-quality footfall.
The two-day conference and exhibition covered Hot Topics such as: why care homes fail: a restructuring overview with Lucy Corner, MD Cornerstone Care Solutions and Gary Hargreaves, partner FRP. Other pertinent topics included: navigating LA care funding, cybersecurity, the new Single-Assessmrnt Framework, reducing energy consumption, and how to embrace technology.
