New Ideas In Health & Social Care

In this Podcast we interview Ruth Donaldson the Director of Commissioning in the North London Central Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) in the NHS

They are developing some interesting and innovative ideas in how you deliver health and social care in times of increasing and complex difficulties and here we discuss some of these idea.

In doing so we look at the relational welfare model developed by Hilary Cottam in her book “Radical Help” and discuss how we can move from the top down impersonal welfare model that has been in operation since the middle of the last century to one that is more personalised and patient/client centred.

It is really encouraging as the CCG is developing some interesting projects, collaborating with other statutory agencies and civil society and understand fully that the future delivery of health and social care has to be a whole society endeavour if it is to work for the benefit of all.
