Wiltshire Care Partnership continued invitations to future WCP events and conferences (free or at a discount to members). • Free training sessions on topics of interest, such as the Mental Capacity Act and how to retain your staff. • Regular email updates and quarterly e-surveys to identify members’ needs and issues. • Voting power to elect the WCP Board and influence the annual work programme. • The opportunity to engage with and influence the agenda of commissioners and new local developments. • Access to a joint working programme with commissioners focused on shared priorities. •
Input to the joint work programme between WCP and Wiltshire and Swindon Care Skills Partnership, to identify and respond to the specific training and development needs of local care home providers, registered managers and staff.
WCP’s board is made up of provider representatives, who have full voting rights, and who include
members of the Wiltshire RNHA, Wiltshire Care Association, Wiltshire Domiciliary Care Providers Association (WDCPA) and Learning Disabilities Provider Forum. Wiltshire Council and Wiltshire Clinical Commissioning Group are represented on the board, but do not have voting rights. This ensures high level discussion of key issues, giving WCP members a voice at a senior level in both commissioning organisations. If you are a provider of residential, nursing or domiciliary care in Wiltshire, or you are providing services to people with learning disabilities, please do consider joining Wiltshire Care Partnership. The stronger the membership, the better WCP can develop effective peer support, grow a collective voice and influence, and work together with commissioners to achieve the provision of highquality, safe services now and in the future.
